KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The YMCA in downtown Knoxville will be closed Thursday and Friday to allow construction crews to repair flood damage.

Demolition work will begin on the basketball court.

The YMCA will be open for regular hours on Saturday. Labor Day hours are 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

According to YMCA of Knoxville's website, the building was built in 1929. It was completely renovated in 2008.
