When completed, the Manhattan Community Squash Center will be the only squash specific facility in New York City. The space will consist of five squash courts, changing facilities with showers and all the amenities you would expect, an area to warm up, cool down and stretch, lockers and laundry facilities and a lounge/cafe to socialize with your friends.
We had been looking for eight years for a building like this and finally found it: The Engineering Society Building of New York. This fine building was once home to the finest engineers in the city. Household names like Tesla and Edison. Squash may not seem like the most immediate way to celebrate these heroes, but our facility is comprised of the most modern equipment, the latest technology and as any squash player will tell you, it takes extremely hard work and high degrees of precision to win a point. It turns out that hard work and precision are hallmarks of engineers as well.
If you replaced a dart board with a map of Manhattan, The Manhattan Community Squash Center would be the bullseye.
