The construction team has prepped the field to install the turf, which has been delivered. They’ve also poured the foundation to start installing the scoreboard at the field.

Inside the building, there is ongoing electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work. On the exterior, the masonry work and waterproofing are complete, and the team has finished the roofing prep. Brick work is underway. 

PREVIOUS UPDATES:

December 2023: 

Pride Enterprises has been selected as the new General Contractor. Established  in 1996, Pride Enterprises is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Certified General Contractor & Construction Services Manager Located in Norristown, PA.  

With a thorough site assessment complete, construction partners then estimated the rough costs associated with the renovations and replacements that would  be necessary. After reviewing the costs and the programmatic needs at ORC, the decision was made to demolish the current Olney Rec Center building and construct a new structure. The existing gymnasium will remain and will be renovated. The new Olney Rec Center grounds will feature an outdoor recreational track and artificial turf multi-sport field, updated basketball and tennis courts, new playgrounds, a new sprayground, and more!
