Additional Info

Callahan provided construction management services for the new South Shore YMCA in Quincy, MA. The new 2-story 118,000 SF building includes a 2-pool natatorium, a multi-purpose gymnasium with multiple sport courts, classrooms and meeting rooms, group exercise studios, a running track, locker rooms, administrative and support spaces, a full-day child care center, and a health and well-being center. All the program venues within the building are tied together by a very clear circulation system that enhances member access, safety, security and fosters community interaction.

The site development consists of new parking areas totaling 377 spaces, including 8 accessible parking spaces, a vehicular drop-off area adjacent to the main building entrance, pedestrian sidewalks, crosswalks and accessible ramps, a rear building service area with loading dock and waste disposal/recycling enclosure and significant site and perimeter landscaping. In concert with the YMCA’s social responsibility towards sustainability, significant “green” design initiatives have been incorporated into this project, including the use of porous pavement, energy-reducing LED site lighting and a waste recycling program.
