Since the Center for Physical Rehabilitation (CPR) moved out of their space at the end of September, many people have asked how HAC will use that area and what’s coming next. We’re excited to share that HAC is growing! We’re expanding our fitness facilities to give members and guests more room to move, train, and feel their best.
This project will happen in two phases:
- Phase I: We’ll renovate the former physical therapy rooms to create new spaces for group fitness classes. This area will also include a new fitness office and a convenient “drop zone” with cubbies and lockers.
- Phase II: Our current group fitness room on the 2nd floor (the Wellness Room) will become part of an expanded fitness center. After opening up a wall, we’ll add more equipment and increase the overall workout space.
We expect the entire project to be finished by spring 2026. Our wellness team is working hard to make sure our equipment and spaces meet the community’s growing needs—especially after last winter, when our fitness center was busier than ever! Stay tuned for additional updates as this exciting fitness expansion continues.

HAC leaders are excited to share the name of our new first-floor group wellness space: The Studio at HAC.

Construction on The Studio at HAC will begin next week, starting with the demolition phase. There will be some dust and noise during this process, but this is anticipated to be the most disruptive part of the fitness expansion project. Please bear with us as we work to expand and improve our fitness offerings to the community!

As of this morning, the majority of demolition is complete and steel stud installation is nearly finished. Project leaders say things are moving along well! Next week, the contractors will start electrical rough-in and masonry work. This phase of the project will be more disruptive, but the loudest work will be scheduled early in the morning to reduce noise impact on facility users.

Our construction team has made great progress this week on The Studio! Framing is finished, masonry work has been completed, and electrical rough-in is done. Up next: insulation will be installed, contractors will hang drywall, and an electrical inspection will take place. Next week should be a bit quieter with masonry work finished, but there might be more mess with drywall work starting.

The Studio renovations and facility improvements are continuing at a great pace! Hallway windows were removed and drywall was hung to create new office and storage spaces. The project is currently on a brief pause until next week; once electrical work is inspected and approved, drywall work will continue (finishing next week). An air scrubber has been installed to help minimize dust in the construction area.

Construction on The Studio has progressed at an exciting speed. Over the last week, drywall was hung and finishing started. Electrical and building rough-in inspections were successfully completed. Our HVAC contractor also came to take measurements so they can fabricate all the pieces they’ll need. This week, our contractors will finish the drywall phase and start painting!

Ceiling prep is being completed this week. Painting has also started and is estimated to be finished by January 30. Flooring has been delivered to the installer.
