New Lawrence Heights community centre
designed to reflect the land it will sit on
A new Lawrence Heights Community Recreation Centre (CRC) in Toronto will reflect the history, character and archeology of the site.
Designed by CS&P Architects and Two Row Architect for the City of Toronto, the centre is a four-storey, 80,000-square-foot structure that will also include a 10,000-square-foot child care centre.
The project is part of the Lawrence Heights Revitalization project, led by Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC).
As TCHC’s largest revitalization project, it will see a 100-acre site south of Yorkdale Shopping Centre transformed into a vibrant, mixed-income community.
The revitalization includes replacing 1,208 TCHC units and building over 4,000 new market units, along with new parks, retail space and roads connecting Lawrence Heights to the surrounding community.
The CRC is part of phase two and is expected to be the centrepiece. It will replace an existing community centre in a different location, which will remain open until the new facility is built. The new CRC will be located near Varna Drive and Ranee Avenue, north of Flemington Public School.
The centre will include a six-lane, 25-metre lane pool; a leisure/tot pool; a double gymnasium with raised track; fitness/dance/aerobic studios; multi-purpose spaces and activity rooms; a community kitchen; enhanced youth space; a weight and conditioning room; a social services office; an active rooftop; active outdoor space and Indigenous placekeeping elements.
Food security issues are also a priority for the community. There’s a community kitchen and there is also the intent to run a food bank out of this area.
While the child care centre will operate as its own separate building, it’s all combined into the same structure. It will have 88 spaces with rooms for infants, toddlers and preschoolers as well as outdoor spaces.
The leftover area on the site will be used for outdoor recreation activities like a community square, a sports court and playground areas.
n terms of sustainability, the mass timber building is expected to be a net-zero carbon building, meet Toronto Green Standards Version 4. It will also include PV panels, geothermal, a compact building shape, a reduced amount of glazing and a high-performance envelope.
The project is currently in the design development phase and the team is looking to lock down its design in order to move it forward to detailed drawing development which then gets tendered out to contractors.
Construction is expected to begin in 2026.
Owner: City of Toronto
Architects: CS&P Architects Inc. and Two Row Architect
