Exeter, NH – Raymond-based Jewett Construction Co. Inc. (JCCI), broke ground on the new Exeter area YMCA on September 16.
JCCI and its design team, including Bruce Ronayne Hamilton Architects and the mechanical engineering firm of Environmental Design & Engineering, Inc., helped hone an early design into a facility promising to bring the community’s generations together via a broad range of activities and affordable programs.
Phase 1 construction will feature an expansive, two-floor, 30,000sf design that includes a cardio and weight room, group fitness studios, an indoor track running above a full-court gymnasium, a multipurpose community room, locker rooms, and dedicated child watch room.
This first phase is expected to be completed in August 2015. An aquatic center planned for Phase 2 is currently in the design phase.
