Conestoga College Student Recreation Centre

The design renovates and expands an existing aging facility to enhance student-life on campus and promote healthy, active living. The existing facility housed a gymnasium and an underutilized arena. The redesign updates the existing gym and adaptively reuses the arena as a new triple-gym and track, with a large student commons and classrooms at the second-level concourse. The new configuration retains the iconic form of the original complex while the expansion presents a new lighter face to the campus. This new lantern-like addition of fitness and student programming reorients the main entry – connecting the revitalized building to its campus.

Jury Comments

This project combines the fine adaptive reuse of a heroic arena structure – retaining the volume and repurposing it – with a precisely detailed and very elegant new structure that adds program space while adding an urban face to the complex.
