Exeter, NH – Southern District YMCA has partnered with Raymond, N.H.-based Jewett Construction Company, Inc. to build a ground-up, new YMCA in Exeter.
Jewett Construction has a long history of building facilities for New Hampshire non-profits, including the Boy Scouts of America — projects for which they also fundraised — as well as the historic renovation of the non-profit America’s Credit Museum in Manchester. A volunteer YMCA Facility Committee is working with Jewett Construction to design a facility that will meet the needs of the extended community and will fulfill the focus of the Y on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
The approx. 30,000sf building will be expansive including a cardio and weight room, group fitness studios, an indoor track, a full-court gymnasium, a multi-purpose community room, locker rooms, and space dedicated to watching children while parents use the facility. A second phase will join an indoor pool with access through the locker rooms.
