Cañada College Athletics Facilities

New Kinesiology and Wellness Center, opening doors in Spring 2021

The much-aticipated building 1 will be opening its doors in the Spring 2021 semester. We are very excited about our new club house, which will be complete with new state-of-the-art training facilities, Athletic Training rooms, competitive swimming pool, and basketball court.

The Project includes the demolition of an existing athletics building to make way for a new 85,000 SF Kinesiology and Wellness building on the same site. The new building will be the home of the Cañada College Physical Education Department. The new building will be a two story structure with rooftop activities and will house both academic and enterprise facilities, including classrooms for wellness activities, an extensive area for fitness equipment, a completion basketball gymnasium, lock and shower facilities, offices and auxiliary facilities. An instructional aquatics pool and a competition pool will be constructed to the east of the structure, complete with spectator areas and auxiliary buildings for associated support facilities and equipment. The project will include the expansion of Parking Lot 6 by an additional 350 parking spaces.

Benefits

This project will provide a modern, architecturally dramatic, fully accessible facility for both students and the local community. Its central location on the Loop Road and adjacent to the Campus main entrance and main quad will make it one of the first structures that visitors to the college experience. It will serve as a memorable attraction to campus visitors.

The new instructional and competition swimming pools will fill a need for such facilities not currently being met in the area. There will be outdoor bleachers and auxiliary facilities needed for swim classes and meets. The classrooms will provide state-of-the-art settings for dance, Pilates, indoor cycling, and other fitness and wellness activities. The competition gym, furnished with retractable bleachers, will provide for volleyball and basketball classes as well as intercollegiate athletic events. Similar to the highly successful San Mateo Athletic Club at the College of San Mateo, the facility will provide for a public-membership enterprise fitness facility, with access to the pools, classrooms, and an extensive array of fitness and strength equipment.
