TRANSFORMING LIVES.

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY

We have the opportunity to turn a 10-acre property in Downtown Batavia into a HEALTHY LIVING CAMPUS, in collaboration with Rochester Regional Health United Memorial Medical Center. Together we will offer a continuum of care in one location, blending prevention, wellness, and rehabilitation services.

OUR VISION FOR

A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY

Built in the 1950s, the Genesee Y has been renovated and expanded over the years to meet the growing and changing needs of our community. We know we must address our facility again today, but it no longer makes financial sense to put additional money into an aging building and not reinvest into programs. Space for family programming and social space is lacking. Additionally, our current site is landlocked and we can’t build up or out.

This is why we are launching our TRANSFORMING LIVES CAPITAL CAMPAIGN to build a Healthy Living Campus and create a stronger and healthier community for generations.

VIRTUAL TOUR of the Healthy Living Campus

The floor plan would be too long to detail everything, but the primary differences between the new Y and old Y designs are: There is a large parking lot right next to the entrance. The Youth Development Commons is near the entrance. Child Watch is on the first floor. There is a two-story adventure room for children. There are family and accessible locker rooms. The gymnasium is larger and regulation-sized. There is a teaching kitchen. There is an intergenerational multi-purpose room. The swimming pool has a splash pad and wading pool. The upstairs has an indoor track. The outdoor playground will be accessible to members. There is a space used by Rochester Regional UMMC.

PLANS FOR NEW FACILITY

A HEALTHY LIVING CAMPUS

The Y is more than a building. It is the heart of the community. The Y is people and programs, collaborations and potential realized. We are a force for positive change that has been serving the Batavia Community. Ours impact extends beyond the four walls of our building, bringing transformative change to our community’s residents and partnering with our businesses, schools, and organizations to ensure we are most effectively helping the people in our community.

“It’s very exciting to think about the new Healthy Living Campus and how it will impact the strength and future of our community. We just can’t wait to see our friends and neighbors enjoying a brand new 21st-century facility, with all its natural light, spaces for socialization, and just a ton of positive energy. I can’t think of a better way to invest in the future of Batavia.” 

Paul Battaglia

YMCA Capital Campaign Chair

“We are very much looking forward to this next phase of our fundraising efforts. To maximize the impact that this project will have on Genesee County, we definitely need the community’s support. We are looking to everyone for help, individuals, families, and local businesses, anyone who wants to play a part in making this a huge success.”
