A new three-story atrium creates a central “hub”, bringing in natural light to the lobby at the center of the building. Spaces were renovated using modern elements and glass to increase visual transparency within the building while complementing the existing wood. ADA access was added to the main entrance to accommodate all visitors along with new locker rooms and expanded activity spaces. Mechanical systems were replaced including the steam boiler, air handling units, and elevator along with energy efficient LED lighting upgrades throughout the building. Exterior work to the rich, historic building included a two-story glass facade, allowing for additional natural light and transparency. Tuck-pointing, roof replacement, and repair of the exterior shell have brought the building back to its 1920s glory. ## Project Details OWNER:  Greater Green Bay YMCA ARCHITECT:  Berners Schober Associates, Inc.
