The site of the Wellesley Community Centre – Pool addition is located at 495 Sherbourne St, Toronto. The development area was approximately 1,600 sq.m. of the community centre site, bounded by a small landscaped area on the south, the existing community centre to the west, Bleeker Street to the east and the existing small community centre parking lot to the north. Construction included a 54,000 sf. indoor pool addition to existing facility including 5 lane x 25m training tank, leisure tank, hydrotherapy tank, change rooms, staff offices, multi-purpose rooms etc. Extensive sustainable “Green” features, including a green roof and geothermal systems.

The project’s site was especially complex due to the nature of the site being extremely tight and surrounded by residential buildings and connection to the adjacent Wellesley Community Centre that remained active throughout construction
