Eva Rothwell Gymnasium Renovations

completed

The Eva Rothwell Gymnasium Renovations (the Project) consists of rehabilitation work to the gymnasium. The Project scope includes: • renovations to the gymnasium floors to provide an updated surfacing that will include multi-sport court lines; • the installation of adjustable basketball nets to better accommodate the population that currently utilizes our gym space i.e. youth of multiple ages with various disabilities will be able to interact and participate in a wide range of sports; and • an improvement to safety features, including foam padding to areas under the net and stage area, to reduce the possibility of injury during fast-pace, extensive, cross-court activities. The Eva Rothwell Centre, is located in the Keith neighborhood, a recognized economically disadvantaged community in Hamilton, north end. The Project is expected to result in an improvement of the quality of offered physical literacy programming, improvement of the general condition and safety of the gymnasium floor, a reduction in barriers for those with disabilities and an increase in the number of hosted community events.
