The anticipated completion date is June 30.
Second Floor Bathrooms- from July 1 to August 21 construction will be taking place on the male and female washrooms on the second floor of the Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness.

Our History
In 1991, construction began that would transform the former Canadian National rail yards into MacEwan's City Centre Campus. Two short years later, in May 1993, MacEwan Sport and Wellness became one of the first buildings on the new downtown campus to open its doors to students and the public.
In September 2009, thanks to a generous donation from the Christenson family, our building was renamed the Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness.Here at MacEwan Sport and Wellness, we strive to provide quality health and wellness programs and services to students, staff and the public. We are proud to be a part of MacEwan's growth and tradition.
