John H. Price Sports & Recreation Centre
Stunning, luminous, incredible; these words and more have been used to describe the facilities within the John H. Price Sports and Recreation Centre. It has recently undergone a $32M renovation and expansion. This represents the largest investment in the history of the University, and is a major turning point for the sports and recreation services available to the University community and residents of the surrounding areas. The Sports Centre includes: an arena, two double gyms, a 4,000-foot fitness centre, an indoor pool, an indoor jogging track, 2 weight rooms, squash courts, and a dance studio. Free access to our guests.

The new observatory is also open to the public for tours and stellar evenings.
