Northeast Community YMCA

A community hub for youth development and healthy living resources

The renovation of the Northeast YMCA in Roebuck transformed the facility into a true community resource center.

Through partnerships with Christ Health Center, Impact Family Counseling, and Habitat for Humanity, the Northeast Community YMCA offers expanded services including wellness programs, pediatric care, family counseling, an early learning center, workforce training, and affordable housing.

“Everything in this YMCA was built with purpose, on purpose.”

— Terri Harvill, Chief Social Impact Officer, YMCA

The gym and adjacent multi-purpose room are flexible to accommodate a variety of fitness classes, games, and meetings.

From the exterior signage and color palette to the interior finishes and custom donor wall, each design element is durable, functional, and reflects the YMCA’s brand.

CCR provided architecture, interior design, and signage design services for this project.

Single-family homes built by Habitat for Humanity will surround the Northeast YMCA and create a purpose-built, walkable neighborhood.

Our team was excited to spend a day volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to help build one of the homes on-site.

“I believe that other communities across the country will have other developments that look like this. But we know where the idea came from.”
