Construction of the new Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville is in its final stages. During this time, the existing club at 1448 Conner St. will be closed as staff moves into the new facility during the New Year.

The new club is down the road at 1700 Conner St. and will be connected to the BGCN’s existing community center.

Staff members said they need the winter break to make the transition, train staff on the new systems and get everything in place for the kids who attend.

Beginning Dec. 22, the club will close. BGCN will have the Kids Only Grand Opening at 1700 Conner St. Jan. 15.  The new facility will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. A free lunch will be served to members that day.  A formal grand opening will take place in mid-February and will be open to the public.

In early 2016, the BGCN announced plans to build a new, $6 million facility at the site of the former Conner Elementary School. The new space is adding approximately 51 percent more (33,900 square feet) of usable space. In the past six years, the club membership has grown nearly 25 percent.

The Build & Grow capital campaign goal of $6 million for the new facility was met in November 2016, and the official groundbreaking took place in May of this year.
