Neighboring Concepts provided programming, architectural and interior design and construction administration services for the Stratford Richardson YMCA, a 40,000 sf facility. This celebrated branch, the first built in West Charlotte in more than 30 years, now sits on 20 acres of land in the heart of Charlotte’s West Boulevard Corridor. The diversity of population and programs at the Stratford Richardson YMCA make it a strong catalyst for the development and resurgence of its adjacent residential neighborhoods.

The Stratford Richardson YMCA branch is the only 1 of 4 Charlotte Center City YMCAs to offer extended programs that target families and senior citizens, a full service licensed child care facility and an after school program for 100 children among them.
