The architects designing the Parramatta PCYC have revealed what the $111m building opposite another local landmark will look like.

Allen Jack+Cottier Architects designed the five-storey club opposite CommBank Stadium following a Liberal pledge to fund the venue under the $5bn WestInvest program.

The club will include music and dance studios, a homework hub, indoor gyms and multi-sports courts as part of an entertainment precinct at the stadium.

“This is a true investment in the local community of Parramatta that, in addition to being a trusted hub for youth, will also include before- and after-school care facilities, boxing and martial arts gyms.

Premier Dominic Perrottet and Sports Minister Alister Henskens pledged the funding this month.

Mr Henskens said the project would complete world-class sporting and entertainment precinct at CommBank Stadium, and give PCYC a place to turbocharge its work with the work it does for western Sydney’s youth.

PCYC NSW chief executive Dominic Teakle said PCYC the youth charity had served Parramatta since 1962.

“The WestInvest funding will allow PCYC to provide fit for purpose indoor sport and recreation facilities that serve the needs of the growing needs of this vibrant City of Parramatta,’’ he said.

The PCYC NSW will be the anchor tenant in the building, which will occupy a vacant site between CommBank Stadium and Parramatta Leagues Club on O’Connell St.

Parramatta PCYC on Hassall St relocated in 2016 to make way for an apartment tower and has since been temporarily based at George St.
