VACC Renovation

VACC lobby renovation
VACC lobby renovation

Thanks to a generous local donor couple, our renovation began in May and is expected to be complete at the end of the year.

We are sending weekly updates via email to our members and post regularly on our website and Facebook page and update our display board in the lobby. 

While we’re doing everything we can to minimize disruption, please understand that locations, availability, and capacity may change throughout the project. At times, we may need to relocate classes, shift programs online, or temporarily cancel options. Parking onsite will also be more limited due to construction, but we’ll communicate additional parking options as they become available. A temporary entrance will be in place while the main entrance and lobby are under construction.

Your safety is our top priority, and we’ll do everything we can to keep VINE running as smoothly as possible while ensuring everyone’s safety. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of transition.

The short-term inconvenience will be well worth it when our updated and refreshed space is ready! Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter for VINE.

Room & Class Changes

OCTOBER

  • Women’s locker room is temporarily moved to the Men’s locker room 
  • Men can use the men’s and women’s bathrooms located across the hall from the pool on the 1st floor
  • Temporary Entrance & Parking: Click here to view map>

    • Parking: The new east lot is open for use. The west lot is fenced off for construction as crews work on the new lobby, additional parking, and canopy entrance.
    • Entrance & Front Desk: Please use the southeast entrance (across from 5th Street). A temporary front desk is located on the 2nd floor inside those doors. All members and guests will enter and exit through this level until renovations are complete later this year.
    • Fitness Spaces:
      • The 1st floor Fitness Center is temporarily closed. Strength training has been moved to the 2nd floor Founders Room (next to the Education Room).
      • The Cardio Studio on the 3rd floor remains open.
      • The pool continues to operate as usual.

Reminder

During construction, registering for and canceling fitness classes is even more important. Class sizes and schedules may need to change. With construction comes unpredictability and we want to keep you informed. If you’re unsure how to register, please ask for assistance at the front desk or visit our website to watch a helpful video tutorial.

Questions?

If you have any questions about where programs are being temporarily relocated or adjusted, please call (507) 387-1666. 

*Please note that while the scope of the project has remained the same, some visual details in the renderings have changed throughout the design process. As a result, the final built version may differ from what’s shown.
