River Architects celebrated the dedication of the new locker rooms, steam room, and sauna at the Dahl Family YMCA in La Crosse. The locker room remodel was the first since the building was built in 1969. The project includes a new steam room and sauna, bathrooms off the pool deck, larger universal (family) locker room.
The renovations allow members and program participants barrier free accessibility, improved privacy, better access to the pool, and a safer environment for all members.
Within the new universal (family) locker room, private changing and shower rooms are designed for young children and their parents or care givers, seniors, members wishing for increased privacy, and members who need improved access to the facility.
A female locker room and a male locker room serves members in a more modern way, including private showers, new lockers, and improved accessibility for all. Within these two new locker rooms, private changing and shower rooms create additional privacy. The number of bathroom facilities doubled in the female locker room.
By combining youth and adults in the same locker rooms, the increased traffic and activity levels improve the safety and security for all Y members and guests.
