When campus is in full swing, there’s no busier place at the Barrie Campus than the Athletics and Fitness Centre, featuring an 8,600-square-foot fitness centre and a 20,000-square-foot double gymnasium.
Our gym has been host to numerous varsity tournaments and sports training camps over the years, proving itself as the perfect location for young athletes to learn new skills. Our students and community also have the opportunity to use our J. C. Massie Field. You can read more about it in our Keynote special October 2020 edition.
This space not only nurtures new athletes, it is also an ideal venue for large events. With the help of our awesome athletics team, it can transform into a versatile event space that can seat up to 1,100 people, and accommodate up to 1,500 standing. Our team has planned trade shows, galas, robotics competitions, and more in the gym; each event taking on its own unique setup and style to make the most of all the space the gym offers.
Check out our video to see how the athletics team transforms the space from a state of the art gymnasium into an auditorium for the President's Thought Leadership Series.
