Kearney Family YMCA

Renovation & Addition Phase 1

The Kearney Family YMCA underwent a transformative expansion and renovation, adding a 26,000-square-foot wing and refreshing the existing 14,000-square-foot facility. The project relocated the wellness and fitness center from the second floor to the first, creating a bright and inviting space filled with natural light that is accessible for all ages. New group fitness studios, a community and learning kitchen, and updated locker rooms surround the relocated fitness area.

A new centralized front desk provides an easy-to-find hub for members, while wayfinding and color accents aligned with YMCA branding help guide visitors throughout the facility. Additional improvements include staff offices, child care spaces, community meeting rooms, and a welcoming gathering area, along with exterior enhancements such as a new parking lot and paved pathways to improve access and safety.

Designed to increase capacity and support expanded programs in healthy living, youth development, and nutrition education, the project allows the YMCA to better serve its community.
