The 1997 expansion of the WJCC is divided into three segments: an educational addition, a recreational addition and general renovations to the existing facility.
The educational component, a day care center for preschool age children, is in a separately controlled wing located off the main center and is composed of seven classrooms equipped for state-mandated skill development programs. The encircling playgrounds are accessed directly from the classrooms.
The recreational component of the WJCC has been expanded with a new 6 lane, 25-yard indoor pool, an aerobics and gymnastic area, a weight/cardiovascular area and health clubs for men and women.
General renovations to the WJCC include refurbishing of the finishes, lighting and a new entrance. Safety improvements and handicapped accessibility for compliance with current code regulations improved the entire facility.
