CONSTRUCTION BEGINS SOON ON MUNGER YMCA

 
Jane Gilman

RENDERING SHOWS YMCA building at 249 S. Oxford Ave.

Get the shovels ready; groundbreaking on the Munger Family YMCA should begin in the near future.

The Hollywood Wilshire YMCA received a $6 million grant from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for its building project. The long-awaited grant will enable construction to go forward for the new YMCA, said Kitty Gordillo, director of development.

The 29,000-square-foot multi-level facility, located at the corner of 3rd and Oxford at 249 S. Oxford Ave., replaces the existing Wilshire YMCA building. The Munger Family YMCA will be a part of the Hollywood Wilshire YMCA, a two-facility YMCA Branch.

When complete, it will serve an estimated 2,700 families. Facilities will include an aquatic center, running track, youth and teen canteen, child care center and basketball court.

The new building, named in honor of donors Nancy and Charles Munger, will be opened during Wilshire YMCA’s 80th year.

The grant also will fund a park on the roof of the four-story parking structure. It will also enable the building to be silver-certified L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

The architects are completing plans to get permits to begin construction, said Gordillo.
