Steel Gymnasium in Lynwood, Washington

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc. had the honor of manufacturing and supplying this pre-engineered steel building for a customer in Lynwood, Washington, in September of 2016.

Currently, the durable, sustainable steel building serves as a gym and recreation space for Trust Basketball, which caters to basketball players who want to improve their skill sets and inspire and serve their surrounding communities. The gym’s owners, too, prioritize giving back to the greater good, and they regularly donate 40 percent of the gym’s profits to charitable causes and efforts of interest to them and their players.

A State-of-the-Art Athletics Facility

This steel gymnasium enabled its owners to fulfill their lifelong dream of opening a “basketball boutique,” so to speak, and it provides an affordable, lower-maintenance alternative to traditional wood gyms.

Unlike wood buildings, metal gyms resist damage caused by moisture, strong winds, fires, pests, and other possible hazards, and they also hold their own in terms of beauty and aesthetics through the years without the hassles of repainting, residing, and so on.

Offering unrivaled strength and durability, this steel gym will continue to serve student-athletes and the surrounding community for years to come, offering a safe, year-round space for sports, recreation, and training.

Part of the Seattle metropolitan area, the city of Lynnwood falls within northwestern Washington’s Snohomish County. The community lies about 13 miles south of Everett and roughly 16 miles north of Seattle.
