Kettle Moraine YMCA Family Natatorium

Zimmerman was commissioned by the Kettle Moraine YMCA to provide a space needs analysis and expansion plans for its existing building in West Bend.  The study concluded that an expansion of the Y was both necessary to facilitate growth in operations and to offer additional services to the community.   Desired program elements were a lobby expansion to facilitate staffing efficiencies, an expanded fitness center, and expanded youth program offerings. The expansion also included a family natatorium project which provides a new thematic pool space that introduces:

• Zero depth wading pool
• Lazy river
• Plunge pool
• Tube slide from a stair tower
• Whirlpool
• Small play structure
• Children’s slide
• Tipping buckets and other children’s activities

The site was analyzed for the potential to accommodate a physical expansion for the desired spaces.  Zimmerman subsequently provided design plans and construction documents for the expansion.
