Plans for New Squash Center at 3422 Elm Street, Pill Hill, Oakland

Plans have been revealed for a new Squash sporting facility at 3422 Elm Street on Pill Hill, Oakland. The project will create nine squash courts, classrooms, and a gathering area to be managed by the local non-profit, SquashDrive. Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects will be responsible for the design.

SquashDrive describes itself in the project application as “a longstanding non-profit organization focused on youth education, athletics, and squash instruction.”

The squash center will rise two stories to yield a combined 19,300 square feet. The ground level will include a surface parking area for four cars. From the entry, visitors will find a lounge, study hall, showers, and an administrative office.

The gallery hall will extend from the lounge, with seating for observers facing the eight singles courts and one doubles court. A second floor will include two classrooms, a volunteer lounge, and a mezzanine viewing gallery into the squash courts below.

An estimated timeline for construction and completion has not yet been established
