Brussels, Morris & Grey Community Centres - Arena Renovation & Expansion

completed

To renovate/expand an existing facility built in 1977 to provide a more inclusive facility to meet community needs The 4 existing dressing rooms are undersized, do not meet AODA standards and are not sufficient to meet current standards for a facility that is used daily for hockey by boys, girls and mixed teams. Renovations will also include a space for a fitness centre to meet the growing need of the community for an accessible fitness centre to enhance overall personal health and fitness A 35% expansion of existing building footprint will accommodate 6 new dressing rooms, new lobby/viewing area complete with a fitness/exercise room. All components of addition will be compliant with AODA standards. Kitchen facilities for existing auditorium will be expanded/renovated into existing lobby and will be completed in conjunction with auditorium upgrades. The project proposes the replacement of the roof in accordance with the Huron East AMP and will include additional insulation The BMG facility was built in 1977 as a joint project between 3 municipalities - Village of Brussels, Townships of Morris and Grey. Brussels and Grey are now part of the amalgamated municipality of Huron East while Morris is part of the Township of Morris-Turnberry. The catchment area with the advent of amalgamated minor sports associations is now beyond the borders of the original 3 municipalities and serves a population area of approximately 10,000
