JCC Begins Maintenance Program

JCC has started a few major projects that will help to enhance your experience and also help maintain the facility - with minor inconveniences during construction.

"As we tackle these projects over the next few weeks there will be some minor adjustments, detours and slight inconveniences you may feel as you come to the JCC," said Mike Klapper, director of Building Operations.

The following is a list of projects with details of any adjustments and changes to the normal schedule:

• The JCC and the Jewish Federation teamed up and were awarded a Department of Homeland Security grant that includes security enhancements, such as a privacy fence, security cameras, new and brighter parking lot lighting and front entry bollards. These enhancements will cause little if any disruption of services and should be completed by the end of the month.
• From the Jewish Federation Capital Repair and Replacement fund, the JCC has started replacing 60 percent of the JCC roof system. Due to the scope of work, there will be areas of the JCC parking lot and front entry that will close for differing time periods. All closures will be marked by caution tape and signs with arrows directing members through the detours. The job should be completed mid-month, depending on the weather.
• The center also is upgrading the main elevator in the lobby to 2008 standards. Most of the work on this project will be in our elevator room and not visible to members. Unfortunately, the elevator will not be available for use during this time period. Those members who need the use of an elevator, may use the Recreation and Wellness elevator, which is located between the indoor and outdoor pools, or via the gymnasium. This elevator can take you to all three levels of the building. Signage directing you to this elevator will be clearly present. The elevator being upgraded should be back in operation by the end of the month.
• In addition, the JCC is finishing its annual maintenance and cleaning service to the indoor pool this week. Until it is back in service, the regular indoor pool schedule will be observed by the outdoor pool.

"If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of these enhancements or maintenance projects, please contact me at (614) 559-6232. Thanks again for your continued support and patience during this process," he said.
