William Way Center Will Return to Spruce Street Home After Renovation

New funding commitments with a nonprofit developer partnership set a path to remodel the 175-year-old building.

Overview

  • The building closes on Dec. 18, with core services shifting to temporary locations rather than shutting down.
  • Starting Jan. 5, the Elder Initiative, peer counseling, and trans programs will operate at the Church of St. Luke and The Epiphany at 330 S. 13th St.
  • Board co-chairs said the center will return after redevelopment, though no timeline for reopening has been finalized.
  • Multiple funding sources, including individual donors, have committed support, and the board is working with a nonprofit developer on the project.
  • Earlier inspections identified about $3.5 million in immediate repairs, and plans call for the archives to open in a temporary location in 2026 with arts and culture programming continuing off site.
