ENTRANCE CHANGE

• Starting on Monday, April 8th the Lititz recCenter will begin the Phase 2 of our construction which will be the remodeling of the lobby entrance. Since this area will be an active construction site; we will need to temporarily relocate our facility entrance.
• Over the duration of Phase 2; the NEW way to enter the Lititz recCenter will be to go through the A2 double doors that you will find to the right of the facility’s main entrance, and this will lead members and guests into the fitness center hallway. Please look for signage that will direct you to the correct area.
• Vending machines will not be available at this time.

Staircase Installed!

Installation of a staircase took place on January 15th. This staircase will be the most common way that members will be using to access the second floor once it is ready for use. As the construction team is setting the steel frame in place; we are expecting a lot of loud noise as they get everything aligned and secured properly.

• Members will notice that the plywood ceilings have been removed to expose the underside of the new second floor. Wiring will be re-routed and secured over the next week.
• Please note: Members will be redirected through the Gym (1/2) while active work is going on.
• The hallways present no hazard when active work is NOT taking place.
• Members can expect to see new lighting and ceiling tiles installed as quickly as possible.
• Hallway tile work will continue at the far end of the Kid Zone hallway. Tile is being removed entirely to the Zone 1 doorway and new flooring is currently being installed.
• Concrete has been poured upstairs and everything has gone smoothly. The floor’s finish has been applied as well.

Lititz recCenter is TAKING it to the NEXT LEVEL in 2024!

Expanded opportunities for MORE fitness, sports, and recreation are coming up with a bigger and better Lititz recCenter.  Construction will start soon to build UP into a second level at Lititz recCenter.

Here’s what’s coming to Lititz recCenter in the New Year:

 

In addition to these second-level features, we will re-orient some main floor spaces to accommodate access to the new upper level, and in a later phase will expand and remodel our main entrance lobby for secure access, smoother traffic flow, and a better customer service experience.  In the last phases of our project, our Fitness Center will once again GROW on the main level!
