LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - The Boys & Girls Clubs of East Texas will open a new teen center at its Lufkin clubhouse Oct. 22, President and CEO Sheila Youngblood said.

The organization is also rebranding its gym with partner Angelina College and starting renovations this week on its "Panda Room." Youngblood said the projects, branded "Makeover to Takeover," address about 10 years of deferred maintenance on buildings the club has owned for roughly 30 years."The entire renovation projects that we want here at our clubhouse within the next two years will be a little over 500,000," Youngblood said.

The teen center will include an academic space with tutors, a lounge with gaming and a pool table, and a workout gym, Youngblood said.
