Empowering Youth at LIFT

LIFT Youth Center is dedicated to creating opportunities for students to be Loved as they are, Inspired to be more, Found in community, and Trusted to make a difference. When the organization acquired a former church building, the team saw potential in transforming the large sanctuary into a safe and inspiring indoor play space for youth.

"Those more experienced kids, they own this court, they take care of it, and they use it as their stage to teach. It's really an awesome thing to see."

The Challenges

  • LIFT wanted every space to reflect its mission and visual identity, making sure that even a basketball court communicated belonging and pride in the community.
  • The church's large sanctuary wasn't designed for recreation, limiting opportunities for students to engage in physical activities indoors.
  • LIFT needed a durable, easy-to-maintain flooring option that would withstand high use while providing a safe surface.

  • CUSTOMIZABLE DESIGN - Wood-Grain Court Tile with custom branding options allowed the court to feature LIFT's logos and colors, helping to visually tie the space to the organization's identity.
  • MODULAR BY DESIGN - The tiles can be easily removed, providing long-term flexibility, and were configured to fit the unique dimensions of the former sanctuary space using our custom design tool to ensure a precise layout and seamless installation.
