The YMCA of Greater Michiana is announcing the completion of a 14,000 sq. ft. addition to the Niles-Buchanan YMCA in Niles. The Y broke ground on the addition in June 2020, after meeting the fundraising goals of the Changing Lives, Improving Health capital campaign.
The ribbon cutting will be on Tuesday, October 12 at 5:15 p.m. at the Niles-Buchanan YMCA, 905 N. Front Street, Niles. The event will be part of Business After Hours co-hosted by the Greater Niles Chamber of Commerce and the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce. To RSVP for the event, please visit https://www.ymcagm.org/NB-Ribbon-Cutting.
The new addition includes a full-size gymnasium, youth room, teen room, fitness studio, wellness room, personal training mezzanine, and office space. These spaces will provide age-appropriate activities for youth and teens to learn, grow, and thrive in a productive environment. In addition, the new space will allow for expanded Y programming including fitness classes, Y-Club Before & After School Care, youth sports, personal training, and more.
The current Niles-Buchanan YMCA facility was completed and opened in 2006 after outgrowing its first facility on State Street, which opened in 1961.
