Project overview

The Fitness Centres at George Brown College’s St. James, Casa Loma, and Waterfront campuses offer a range of amenities to meet the diverse fitness needs of students. Each facility supports various training styles, including cardio, resistance, and free weight workouts.

Equipped with modern fitness machines, the centres feature treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, stair climbers, rowing machines, universal weight stations, chest and leg press machines, Olympic bars, free weight racks, and benches. To support a well-rounded fitness experience, the location also includes a designated stretching area, water fountains, and hand towels for cleaning equipment.

MTE's Involvement

MTE was proud to provide structural engineering services for the development of George Brown College’s fitness facility.

Our team designed a new athletic centre constructed on top of the existing roof of a heritage building. Working within the constraints of the site, we creatively utilized the available penthouse space to design an innovative L-shaped structure that integrates seamlessly with the existing architectural layout. The result is a modern, efficient fitness facility that enhances student life while respecting the character of the original building.
