Work Underway on L.E. Phillips Senior Center Expansion
29 Sep 2020
News, Eau Claire
Eau Claire’s population is getting older, but thanks to an upcoming addition to the L.E. Phillips Senior Center, it will soon be getting more fit and better-educated, too.
In mid-September the senior center broke ground on a long-awaited $3 million expansion that will add 4,000 square feet to the building, including a new fitness gym and several multipurpose rooms. The addition on the building’s west side will allow the center to expand its fitness offerings, giving seniors more space to work on critical areas like balance and strength. Currently, the center’s fitness area is in the basement (although fitness classes have shifted online since the pandemic began). In turn, the previous workout space will be remodeled to allow the center to expand its educational programming, filling seniors’ desires to keep their brains as active as their bodies.
