The City of Brampton undertook an extensive revitalization of its existing 53-year old recreation centre.

The project involved a near-total demolition of the existing facility, with the exception of the steel structure of the pool and pool basin. The renovation and expansion have delivered an almost entirely new facility, nearly doubling the size of the former centre to 35,000 ft2. LEED Silver certification is in progress. HH Angus provided mechanical and electrical engineering, ICAT design, and lighting design services.

Key features include the rehabilitated pool, updated change rooms, a multi-sport gymnasium with an Olympic-sized FIBA court (smaller than an NBA court), a sauna, and two multi-purpose rooms that can open to create a more versatile space. The design also incorporates a large, interconnected lobby and administrative offices. Exterior improvements include additional onsite parking, as well as a new outdoor splash pad and playground.

The project replaces all air distribution systems serving the rehabilitated pool and introduces a new high-efficiency condensing boiler system to heat both the pool and the building perimeter. Heat recovery from discharged water is used to preheat incoming cold water for the pool, contributing to the achievement of multiple LEED credits. High-efficiency rooftop units equipped with heat pumps and heat recovery wheels significantly reduce overall energy consumption. Occupancy and CO₂ sensors further optimize performance by ramping mechanical systems up only when spaces are in use. Automatic curtains and daylighting strategies reduce energy demand for interior lighting, while low-flow plumbing fixtures throughout the facility help minimize water usage.
