YMCA design provides inviting, open and secure environment

Located on a 20-acre (8-hectare) site in Cranberry Township, Pa., the new $10 million, 80,000- square-foot (7,432-m2) Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA has an indoor aquatics center with four pools; fitness center; gymnasium; community rooms; and a 12,000-square-foot (1,115-m2) wellness center operated by the Butler Health System, Butler, Pa. The building features a generous expanse of glass that expresses the Y’s wishes to provide an inviting, open and secure environment that, at the same time, reveals the multiple activities going on inside.

The project utilized 5,000 square feet (465 m2) of metal composite wall panels finished in Champagne Metallic and Custom Orange Copper from Citadel Architectural Products, Indianapolis. The panels were installed in Citadel’s Envelope 2000 Reveal System. Butler-based United Plate Glass Co. Inc. supplied its Lisec Super Spacer TriSeal curtainwall system from Edgetech USA, Cambridge, Ohio. Don’s Glass
& Mirror, Wexford, Pa., was the curtainwall fabricator and installer.

 

Ross Schonder Sterzinger Cupcheck P.C., Wexford, was the architect; Landau Building Co., Wexford, was the general contractor; and Mohawk Construction & Supply Co., McMurray, Pa., was the installer.
