Laurier Brantford YMCA | Project Profile
Award Magazine | April 2018
The ideal partnership is one in which close collaboration benefits multiple parties, and this is certainly the case with the Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletic and Recreation Centre, which is the outcome of the City of Brantford teaming with Wilfred Laurier University in 2012 to create a new recreation complex for university students as well as the entire community. Located between two parallel streets running east/west that have a 35-foot height differential, the massive 118,000-square-foot facility consists of an elevated rectangular two-storey “Bar-Building” on Colborne Street.
