North Scott YMCA

    Community Interiors Municipal PreK-12 Sports and Recreation Wellness

Take a virtual tour to experience Legat Architects’ design of the new North Scott Community YMCA in Eldridge, Iowa. A partnership between North Scott Community School District, the City of Eldridge, and the YMCA creates a 43,500-square-foot fitness center that serves as a home for the North Scott High School swim team, as well as a resource for community members.

Concrete evidence of excellence. Watch this video courtesy PCI Midwest to find out how Legat’s design of North Scott Community YMCA uses precast concrete and thin brick to “increase production efficiency and achieve a beautiful architectural finish.”

School district/city/nonprofit partnership brings students and community fitness resource

North Scott Community School District had to rent a substandard local pool for its high school swim team practices and meets. A partnership between the district, the City of Eldridge, and the YMCA creates a 43,500-square-foot fitness center that serves as a home for the swim team, as well as a resource for community members.

The first floor houses a lobby, gym, and natatorium including a competition pool, family recreation pool, and kiddie pool. The upper-level track (12.5 times around = one mile) surrounds a weight room and the gym below. Also upstairs is a dance/yoga studio with a view of the recreation pool.

The six-lane competition pool seats 135 spectators and has a one-meter diving board. The family recreation pool offers bench seating in the water and a hot tub that fits 13. It also has a play structure with slides, steps, sprayers, and a water dump bucket.

Gro Development worked with the organizations to raise funds and create preliminary designs. The owner then tasked Legat with developing the design as the local architect.
