Upcoming Renovations at the Southwest YMCA
We're excited to share some great news about our Southwest YMCA! We'll soon begin important renovations to make the Southwest Y even better — including upgrades to the kitchen and front desk areas.
There will be some construction inconvenience for all, but the Southwest Y will remain open during the majority of these renovations. We can't wait for you to enjoy the improvements coming soon!
How will these renovations improve the Southwest Y?
This remodel is all about enhancing your experience at the Southwest Y and expanding how we serve our community. Here's what you can look forward to:
- A more welcoming entrance with a modern design and inclusive, ADA-compliant space to improve accessibility for all
- A new teaching kitchen for cooking classes, nutrition education and cultural exchange workshops
- More room to grow — expanding food distribution and nutrition programs for local children and families
When will construction happen?
We want to keep you in the loop every step of the way! Here's a look at the current construction timeline — and we'll continue to share updates as the project moves forward:
- October–November: Pre-construction planning and preparation
- December: Construction begins (there may be a brief, multi-day closure and some changes to building access — we'll give you plenty of notice!)
- Early 2026: Renovations complete and ready for you to enjoy!

Your patience and support during this time mean so much — these improvements are all about creating a better experience for you and our community. We can't wait to welcome you into a refreshed, more inclusive Southwest YMCA — a place where everyone feels at home the moment they walk through the doors.
