Notes

• The project expended significant effort to locate an ideal location for the combined facilities, choosing up to 7 acres of the Paradise Valley Community College property between 56th and 60th Streets on the south side of Carefree Highway, in the City of Scottsdale. This excellent central location has good highway access. This location is shown on the map at the top of the page.

• The YMCA building (Phase I), is planned as a 30,000 square foot building. An aquatic center will be a major element which will include an indoor/outdoor teaching and recreational pool with facilities for therapeutic and rehabilitative use. A wellness/fitness center with state of the art equipment and programs will promote healthy lifestyles. An adult multipurpose room will provide space for classes in aerobics, yoga and other activities. Space for children’s programs will be accommodated in a children’s gym and activity area. An area for teens will be designated for healthy living programs, a computer lab, and recreational opportunities. The lobby area will be enhanced by a rock climbing wall, snack bar and reception area. At a later date Phase II will consist of a gymnasium and an outdoor running track. The location of this space is shown on the site plan above.
• The Community Center is planned as a 10,000 square foot building to provide a variety of meeting spaces for diverse not-for-profit community groups as they work to support the Desert Foothills community. It will contain a spacious comfortable living room/library facility where our senior residents can meet for conversations, bridge, chess, or just to relax. There will be a large dividable multi-purpose room that will accommodate 200 people in banquet seating, and 350 in classroom-style seating. The multi-purpose room will be equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system and projection capabilities, and will be adjacent to a catering/banquet kitchen. There will be two other meeting rooms available for groups of 15-20 in a conference-table-style setting. The location of this space is shown on the site plan above.
• On the same mini-campus and linked to the Community Center will be the education facility of 10,000 square feet (planned) owned by the Maricopa County Community College District and utilized by Paradise Valley Community College. It will have five classrooms, a computer laboratory, and the appropriate administrative and support space. It will have some common facilities with the Community Center and will share space on occasion. The location of this space is shown on the site plan above.
