In collaboration with ELS, SWA designed a new landmark for Canada College, the Kinesiology & Wellness Center. The project replaced a windowless 1960s-era gym building and outdoor asphalt yard with the glassy new building and infinity pool deck on this hilltop campus with fantastic views. The project also created a new campus arrival and ceremonial overlook. To provide accessibility and convenient walking and drop-off access to the Center’s lobby, the lobby was extended a half-level down to the new entrance plaza, and the adjacent campus street intersection was narrowed and flattened.
To better connect the Center with the rest of campus, the design team also designed a pedestrian quad to replace an existing small parking area. The quad, which will be implemented in a later phase, includes shade trees, communal tables and convenience power and will serve as the campus’ outdoor living room.
