Hutchinson YMCA

The new Hutchinson YMCA marks an exciting chapter in the Greater Wichita YMCA’s growth. Originally planned as an addition, the project evolved into a full-scale facility through a partnership with Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. Positioned as the city’s “Front Door” to health and wellness, the YMCA will feature a Natatorium, Gymnastics Center, and Family Center as key highlights.

The Gymnastics Center consolidates programs into a 5,500-square-foot space with expansive glass and seating. The Family Center offers a multi-generational gathering space featuring a space-themed playground, developed in collaboration with the Kansas Cosmosphere.

Additional amenities include three fitness studios, a sports gym for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, and an elevated indoor track surrounding the Gymnastics Center and second-floor fitness area. Well-appointed locker rooms, including a Universal Locker Room with private showers and changing stalls, enhance member convenience. A “Kid Zone” provides supervised care for young children, ensuring a welcoming and family-friendly environment.

Schaefer's years of knowledge and expertise specific to YMCAs is unmatched by any other firm in the country. In addition, they are great partners and model the YMCA Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.
