The state-of-the-art Kinesiology Building opened in August 2018, making it our newest building on campus and home to some of Canada’s most modern and technologically advanced labs, research and learning spaces.

All students in our Faculty of Kinesiology now have a single place where they can access their classes, labs and research equipment. This bright, open-space 60,000-square-foot facility is directly connected to the Richard J. CURRIE CENTER and was designed with both human wellness and environmental sustainability in mind.

Unique features of the building include:

• 73% natural light

• A 200-seat auditorium

• Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic

• A very Instagram-friendly living plant wall made entirely from recycled material

• A solar-powered bicycle shelter

• Vegetative sedum roof, which allows for rainwater harvesting to be used for flushing toilets

• Fully WELL and LEED certified

The building is home to The Centre for Recreation and Sport in Society, an international network of researchers, educators and practitioners that promote learning, critical thinking and innovation. You will also find our “Kinovation” space here, designed to facilitate student, faculty, staff and community collaboration in fitness, exercise and wellness and Louise’s Kitchen, a teaching kitchen for nutrition courses.

Kinesiology students will spend plenty of time here – and don’t forget to catch the Kinesiology Society’s barbecues on the building’s patio!
