Part of a groundbreaking master plan to create a community campus in partnership with the Markham-Stouffville Hospital, the integrated campus includes the hospital, community center and library, a future wellness center and public park elements on the grounds. The community center and library are intrinsically healthier in the way it allocates resources and provides essential services to create a stronger sense of community and a greater awareness of our environment.
The center will include a 25-meter, eight-lane competition pool, leisure and therapeutic pools, a fitness center with indoor track and a gymnasium.
There are also multi-purpose programming spaces for youth, adults and seniors, therapeutic resources and facilities for the hospital and the Cornell Branch Library with an integrated medical library. The campus strategy includes significant green design principles including energy conservation, sustainability, environmental and life cycle cost strategies within an inclusive and dynamic environment.
