The Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport is a 2,000 seat [1] indoor arena facility of the University of Toronto on its St. George campus in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. [2] It is home to the university's Varsity Blues basketball and volleyball teams.
The facility was completed in the fall of 2014 at a cost $58 million, [3] with $22.5 million coming from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and $11 million from the Goldring family, for whom the centre has been named. [4] The facility was designed by Patkau Architects and MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects in a joint venture, with landscape architecture by PLANT Architect, structural engineering by Blackwell, and construction services by Ellis Don.
Along with the 2,000-seat, internationally rated field house for basketball, volleyball and other court sports, the multi-storey sport and exercise facility houses a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning centre, fitness studio and sports medicine clinic, along with research and teaching laboratories.
