Second Story Addition Stork Family YMCA - Waterloo

in progress

- Addition of second story space to existing Stork Family YMCA in Waterloo to expand program capacity at this site. - New multipurpose space will primarily support expanded Health Management programming for individuals dealing with chronic health issues, and will also provide space for expansion of additional YMCA youth and adult programming. Existing first story was specifically designed to accommodate a second story addition. This project will add 4500 square feet of multipurpose program space above the existing first story footprint. Expanded participation capacity will primarily accommodate Health Management programs, with opportunity to support other youth and adult programs. New programming within addition will serve 100 participants/day, primarily adults 55 and older, living with chronic health conditions. Health Management programs are customized to support low-health individuals. Programs have demonstrated statistically significant improvement in health indicator outcomes for participants. Increased capacity to continue independent activity is established in participants through education, motivation, and confidence.
