The town of Oakville announced on Sept. 26 that the town officially broke ground on the SECC site.
This officially kicked off the construction phase.
“This milestone marks a significant step forward in redevelopment plans for the former hospital site,” Mayor Rob Burton said in a recent press release.
“We’re excited to build a new community hub that will bring people together and help residents live active, engaged and healthy lifestyles.”
The centre will have a modern building design while still respecting the adjacent heritage district and the designated high school.
The new SECC will feature a 25-metre lap pool, a warm water pool, a double gymnasium, a fitness centre with a running track, multipurpose meeting rooms and space for intergenerational programming.
The community centre will also include a LEED-certified energy efficient building that will include rooftop solar panels, geo-thermal cooling and heating, a car charging station, and a battery energy storage system.
The town of Oakville is partnering with Oakville Hydro to have this built.
The park that will neighbour the centre will feature soft landscaping and trees, a play structure, seating, lawn areas, a water play area, pavilion and bicycle parking.
