A new YMCA on Wright State\u2019s campus would provide additional services to students, faculty, staff and their families while supplementing services offered by Campus Recreation’s Fitness Center.<\/p><\/div>\n

A Dayton-area community may be getting a new YMCA. The project would lead to a modern facility and may provide work to area contractors and suppliers.<\/p>\n

Wright State University is partnering with the city of Fairborn and the YMCA of Greater Dayton to explore the construction of a new YMCA on the university\u2019s campus that would serve the city of Fairborn and the students, faculty and staff of Wright State.<\/p>\n

As conceived, the facility would replace Fairborn\u2019s existing YMCA and be located on undeveloped university property along Colonel Glenn Highway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity to explore enhancing our campus experience and partner with two great organizations,\u201d said Wright State President\u00a0Sue Edwards.<\/p>\n

The idea was inspired in part by a YMCA that opened on the campus of Wichita State University in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Fairborn YMCA features weightlifting equipment, cardio machines, an indoor swimming pool and basketball courts and offers group exercise classes, personal training, swimming lessons and childcare.<\/p>\n

Officials would like to replace the facility with something new.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Wright State University and the Dayton YMCA to explore building a new facility in Fairborn that will benefit the community at large, while also enhancing the landscape along Colonel Glenn Highway,\u201d said Fairborn City Manager\u00a0Rob Anderson.<\/p>\n

In addition to meeting the needs of the Fairborn community, a new YMCA on Wright State\u2019s campus is seen as a way to provide additional services to students \u2014 especially those living on campus \u2014 and to faculty, staff and their families. It would supplement services currently offered by the\u00a0Campus Recreation<\/a>\u00a0Fitness Center in the Student Union.<\/p>\n

The partners will begin working on specifics, including design plans and financing options.<\/p>\n

The Fairborn YMCA was established in 1946 and serves over 6,500 families in the Fairborn community.<\/p>\n
