The Hyannis Youth and Community Center (“HYCC”) which was designed by Bargmann, Hendrie + Archetype, Inc. and constructed
by general contractor J.K. Scanlan, Company Inc. serves the Town of Barnstable’s residents and its school district’s athletic departments,
as well as those of private and charter schools, after school and weekend programs, competitive athletic organizations,
community groups and the estimated 2,500 families who reside within a one-mile radius. Situated in the heart of Cape Cod’s commercial
hub, the building is two blocks from Main Street and a 90-minute drive from Boston, MA; Newport, RI; and Provincetown,
MA. The Barnstable Municipal Airport, Hyannis Transportation Center and ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are nearby.
Since opening in September 2009, the HYCC has become a major center of activity, providing programs
and special events for visitors from all over Cape Cod and beyond. Some of the events include
the Cape Cod Hockey Classic featuring Colgate University Men’s hockey team in their neutral site season
opener against West Point. The Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference partnered with the Cape
Cod Chamber of Commerce to bring 18 teams for the North East Collegiate Volleyball Association
Championship Tournament. The international 2nd Nations Cup (the first of its kind to take place in the
United States) and US Figure Skating Theatre on Ice Nationals will bring thousands of skaters from as
far away as Russia, France and Australia and teams from California, Texas, Ohio, Florida and New
England. These events bring millions of dollars in new revenue to the region during the traditional
“off-season”. The facility has received accolades from local business owners and community leaders
who recognize the impact the project has made, enhancing the quality of life for regional residents and visitors.
Considered the “Jewel of Cape Cod,” and recipient of the 2011 Massachusetts Recreation and Park Association
Annual State Award in the Field of Design of Facility, the modern building and its landscaped
campus has been further accentuated by a downtown beautification effort that includes new street
lights, wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes from Route 28 to the facility.
The 105,000 sq. ft. facility offers a full pallete of multigenerational leisure activities. Friendly staff
greet members and visitors in the bright and expansive lobby, where they can access affordable programs
and low cost memberships offering after school activities in the youth center, a multi-seat computer
room, as well as integrated programs for the physically and mentally challenged.
Staff offices are spread throughout the facility providing supervision of visitors in all sections of the center. A sound and PA system
runs throughout the ADA accessible facility. The 12,500 sq. ft. air-conditioned wood floor gymnasium, adjacent to the youth center,
accommodates a competition basketball court with two full cross courts and portable seating for 500 spectators along with an elevated
three lane walking track offering daily early morning to late night activities.
The state-of-the-art “green” technology includes computerized HVAC, refrigeration and lighting control systems. State-of-the-art
low wattage lighting fixtures, motion sensing switches and variable light levels provide for energy conservation. PV solar panels
have been installed on a south facing roof and permitting for a future wind turbine were incorporated into the design and construction.
A 65 Kv cogeneration system is in the conceptual design stage awaiting funding which will further energy conservation measures
by using the heat generated by the system to provide the making of hot water for the zambonis and preheating of hot water
for the facility showers.
Two electric zambonis and indoor ice melt pit provide for maximum efficiency of operations in the twin NHL-regulation size ice
rinks. The ice on Rink 2 can be melted down leaving a concrete floor for dry floor activities. A removable event floor can be placed
over the ice in either rink for other short term non-ice events. Rink 1 has a 3,000 seat capacity with the floor. The 9 locker rooms
provide ample space for teams while the warming room has a skate rental shop and snack bar with seating, a flat screen monitor
and gas log fireplace. Security cameras, computerized door access and position switches throughout the facility aid in the operatiotion
and management of program areas. A community policing office is located off the lobby to aid in crowd management and public
safety when the facilty is under full spectator occupancy. A 75 seat café, with WiFi capability, and pro shop are leased by local
businesses. The United Cultures Resource Room and meeting rooms offer numerous amenities.
The Hyannis Youth and Community Center broke ground on January 18, 2008. The $25.6 million project was funded by a $3.5
million grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a $1 million grant from the United States Department of Education, $1.34
million of private fundraising through the Hyannis Youth and Community Center Foundation and the balance of $18,863,283 was
from Town of Barnstable borrowing authorization and unexpended funds. Additional property was added to the site along Stevens
Street to accommodate needed parking. The building meets the requests of members of the general public and the Barnstable
Youth Commission who spoke favorably on the project which is placed by design in the area of Town with the greatest need. The
Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Memorial Skating Rink was demolished after 52 years of service to make way for additional parking at the
new facility and the completion of the attractive landscaped site which serves as the gateway to the downtown district. Center ice
of the Kennedy Skating Rink has been marked with a special granite marker. The completed project is a facility of which Barnstable
residents are extremely proud!
When the Town of Barnstable made the commitment to build the HYCC, the consensus was to establish an
enterprise account, requiring the facility to sustain its operation by generating revenue through rentals, special
ticketed events, advertising, sponsorship and resource management. The building operates under the
Community Services Department.
QUICKSTART TENNIS: (Year-round)
Based on the United States Tennis Association’s newest format for teaching
the country’s fastest growing sport, QuickStart uses a modified smaller
playing area within the traditional boundaries of existing courts, oversized
racquet and balls and a lower net to assure success for the beginner with
the philosophy that early success will create a platform for quicker transfer
to full size equipment and courts and designed for beginning players of
all ages!

players can hit balls back and forth over the net with a partner after the first practice. Shot
selection and court positioning are important to introduce to this age group so players can
have fun learning and competing.
