Currie Gym, Replacement Of The Multistack Chiller

Type: Construction / Status: Scope

Built in 1939, 

War Memorial, Currie Gymnasium
this remarkable addition to the McGill Sports Complex was named in honor of Sir Arthur Currie, who served as McGill’s principal from 1920 to 1933. Sir Arthur Currie's legacy of leadership and dedication to the university is commemorated through this facility.

In 1947, the complex saw its first major expansion with the extension of the gymnasium and the installation of the Garfield-Weston Pool and Memorial Hall, enhancing the athletic and recreational offerings available to students and faculty.

The evolution of the sports complex continued in 1994 with the construction of the Tomlinson Fieldhouse. This modern addition brought substantial new space to the complex, including a state-of-the-art track and a new swimming pool, significantly broadening the scope and capacity of McGill’s athletic facilities. Today, the complex stands as a vibrant hub for sports and recreation, reflecting McGill's commitment to fostering physical fitness and well-being among its community.
