Multifunctional Wellness Center to Boost Local Fitness
The Sanford-YMCA (SanY) Family Wellness Center, a joint initiative between Sanford Health and the Missouri Valley YMCA, opened in 2017 to address the growing demand for childcare and fitness facilities. This facility includes a variety of amenities designed to serve all ages: a two-court gymnasium with a perimeter walking track, multiple exercise studios, a Sanford Physical Therapy Suite, childcare rooms, and steam saunas, among others. Situated on land once occupied by a miniature golf course and go-cart track, the center features architectural elements like a glass curtain wall and clerestory windows to maximize natural light and provide uplifting entry conditions. The building’s placement allows for future expansion, while its design incorporates various durable materials and a palette of soft, neutral colors to enhance the interior spaces, making the center a pivotal addition to the community.
