Sampson Family YMCA ( formerly East Suburban YMCA) Location: Plum Borough, Pennsylvania Size: 31,000 SF- New Construction 10,500 SF- Renovation
In order to provide additional programs and to further support the local communities, the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh selected RSSC Architecture to develop a master plan for expansion and renovations to the existing Sampson Family facility and its 50 acre site, located along Route 286 in Plum Borough. RSSC’s design solution allowed the facility to remain open and operational by phasing the construction. The first phase provided necessary site improvements and modifications. This work comprised of a new traffic signal and access to the property, additional parking with accessible drop off to the building, improved pedestrian & vehicular circulation within the site, reconfigured outdoor recreation fields, and a new park pavilion & dek hockey rink. The next phase was a two-story addition to the existing building. This 31,000 SF structure included a new lobby space, wellness center, locker rooms, an indoor aquatic center with lap and warm water therapy pools,
community meeting room with training kitchen, and an expanded child care wing with secure entry. The final phase of construction provided renovations to the existing building. These renovations included group exercise rooms, cycling, dance studio, a child watch center, and an administrative wing. Inside, the facility is constructed to withstand the abuse and number of members who utilize the facility daily. Yet, the rooms are bright and comfortable. RSSC achieved this by incorporating clerestories, expansive windows & skylights for an abundance of natural light and by using the YMCA branding color palette in a creative manner.
