Pan AM 2015 Toronto Tracks
About the Project
In 2014, The MBTW Group was retained by Bouygues Building Canada to provide consulting services for the renovation and updating of several existing track and field venues across the City of Toronto. Part of the overall legacy plan for the Pan/Parapan American Games (Toronto 2015), these sites were designated as competition practice facilities with the post-games goal that they would become hubs for the ongoing development of local amateur and professional athletes.

The renovation of the indoor events area including (1) 5-lane 200m banked oval running track, (1) 8-lane straight track, (1) 3-lane warm up track, long jump/triple jump runway, and pole vault runway. All events space were complete with rubberized surfacing, event line markings, inserts, and equipment.
Toronto Track and Field Centre (Outdoor), York University, Toronto, ON
