Closed since it was struck by a destructive EF-3 tornado on April 29, the Andover YMCA branch will be rebuilt “better than ever,” said Ron McMahon, CEO of the Greater Wichita YMCA. “The whole thing will be redone — every floor, every finish, every wall will be completely redone,” McMahon said Wednesday in an interview with the WBJ. It was the first time the YMCA has announced its next steps in Andover since the tornado tore a 13-mile path through portions of Sedgwick and Butler counties three months ago. One of 10 branch locations in the Wichita area, the YMCA was one of the worst-hit businesses in the storm, which wrecked the outdoor waterpark, tore back portions of the roof and launched vehicles from the parking lot into the front lobby.
