LORNE DAVIES COMPLEX SET TO UNDERGO TRANSFORMATION |
The next phase of renewal begins this spring. Updates include remodelled men's and women's general change rooms, accessible washrooms, expanded team rooms for men's and women's varsity programs, a permanent wrestling centre, seismic strengthening and HVAC system improvements.
The project will ensure that both general change rooms and varsity team rooms are equitable in size and scope for all athletes and community members. Architects Perkins + Will, who designed the SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field and the new Student Union Building, are leading the renewal.
