YMCA Diabetes Resource Center

Cape Associates built the Diabetes Resource Center inside a YMCA, working with Catalyst Architecture. The entry is a glass-fronted room under a curved wood soffit, with the center name set above the doors.

Glass doors with frosted bands carrying a wave graphic separate the space from the corridor. A wall-mounted screen shows prediabetes statistics, and another carries a welcome message beside a small seating area with a round glass table.

Inside, light wood shelving holds pamphlets and books, and a curved counter holds computers. A glass-topped table with clear chairs makes a spot for one-to-one conversations, and a corner window looks out to trees.

The room is organized for self-service and conversation. A reception counter with a curved wood front greets visitors, computer stations let people look up information, and light wood shelving, soft blue walls and colorful graphics make the space easy to read.
