Centre for Sport & Wellness
Wellness contributes to the overall quality of life!
Connecting to the community and beyond
The Centre for Sport & Wellness expansion will greatly improve access to sport and recreation for not only the College community, but citizens of the City and County of Red Deer and the surrounding region.
Get ready to get fit! Performance and instructional gyms, an indoor track, racquet courts, dance studios, fitness and testing spaces will be constructed - all with public access and accessibility to the disabled community.
The Sport Administration Centre will serve as the hub of hockey, coaching, refereeing and leadership development for the entire province. The Ice Centre will offer an indoor Olympic-size ice surface. The Field House will feature a multi-purpose, indoor arena for College programming and a wide array of community sport organizations.
