The Andover North Andover
Construction Project
Over the past 18 months we’ve taken great steps to improve things for
our members. As you may already know, we have been in the process of
a transformational renovation to our current facility.
We are particularly excited to give you some excellent news regarding
the progress of the project. We have opened our new expanded
Wellness Center during the month of December and just to touch on
a few new features, we have added and opened an early childhood
development center, an active living center for older adults and a
greatly expanded aquatics center including a new family pool and lots
of additional enhancements too numerous to mention.
Barring not too many unforeseen issues, we excitedly anticipate
completion of the entire project by the end of the first quarter (March)
of 2016 with more great features to come.
Nothing matters more to us than your complete satisfaction. We
are extremely proud of what has been accomplished in making these
improvements as well as our drive to deliver a world class experience
and facility to our members.
Please stop by and tour the brand new facility. You will be absolutely
awestruck!
