REGENT PARK POOL

Toronto, Ontario

This new state-of-the-art aquatic facility is designed as part of the Regent Park revitalization project.  Regent Park is one of Canada’s largest and oldest public housing developments.  Its revitalization plan includes the demolition of the existing housing and the redevelopment of the area which will increase the density of housing and incorporate mixed social and market geared living units.  Regent Park Pool will be a key component of the community’s reintegration into the surrounding urban fabric, designed to be a community centre not only for Regent Park but a facility accessible to all of Toronto.  The building will incorporate environmentally sustainable strategies and demonstrate the City’s new Green Development Standard.  Some features currently being developed are a green roof system, a thermal energy supply from a new central plant built for Regent Park, natural ventilation and natural lighting to all areas of the building.

Thank you to Group 2 for bringing this facility to my attention.
