社区中心在改扩建后，以更好的设施服务本地社群大众，提倡身心健康发展
梅里马克河谷基督教青年会: 安多弗/北安多弗分馆
A new expansion nearly doubled the size of fitness and community space in the new Andover/North Andover YMCA
梅里马克河谷基督教青年会（Merrimack Valley YMCA）于1865年成立，成为基督教美国青年会的一部分，并自此致力服务于安多弗/北安多弗地区社群大众。随着安多弗/北安多弗分馆的改扩建工程的完成，当地及周边城镇的家庭和社群可获得更佳的社区服务。本项目为始建于上世纪六十年代的建筑进行全面改造，并将原设施面积翻倍，扩建超过10,000平方米的健身、水上运动和医疗保健设施。改扩建后的场地以全新形象彻底重塑基督教青年会的岗位和使命。
在2007年，梅里马克河谷基督教青年会认为有必要为安多弗/北安多弗分馆进行全面重新定位，因此他们聘请Sasaki与全国各地分会的专家和本地顾问组成合作团队，就项目范围、功能配置和筹资等方面进行了历时数年的工作。由于项目的财政预算有限，加上私人体育俱乐部造成日益激烈的市场竞争，团队为安多弗/北安多弗分馆提出了独一无二的改扩建方案。

通过善用现有建筑空间与发挥基地绿树林荫的优势，Sasaki旨在以简单的体量方案为现有以及未来的用户创造优雅舒适的体验。团队从当代艺术家的创作策略取得灵感，为活动密集的区域添上鲜艳夺目的颜色，再以干净明亮的流线通道贯穿其中。多样化的健身设施、水上运动设施以及后勤空间提供老少咸宜的活动，为超过3,000名不同年龄的会员提供服务。全新的集体运动室、三个游泳池以及健身和心肺训练区域拥有亲切舒适的设计，其布局安排以提倡健康生活为主题。与梅里马克学院合办的创新项目“活动科学”为学龄儿童提供集运动与探索式学习于一体的活动。为照顾社区内各个年龄层的居民，鼓励他们奉行健康生活方式，这里更设有长者学习中心与740多平方米的幼儿中心。

项目获得了社区的广泛赞誉，一名市民致函给《安多弗地区报》总编辑，形容改造后的安多弗/北安多弗会所是“梅里马克河谷的天赐之物… [也]是我在过去45年来见过最令人兴奋的社区项目，我很幸运生活在这样美好的市镇里。”随着安多弗/北安多弗分馆的落成启用，基督教青年会能有更好的机会推动青年发展工作、倡导健康生活模式以及履行其社会责任。
