A high-performance aquatics and athletics facility that will be constructed on the University of Toronto Scarborough campus for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. The new facility will function as a centre for high performance and university sports, and after the Games, will provide much-needed community recreation space. ZAS was one of three short-listed proponents invited to design the new facility, Field House and Canadian Sport Institute utilizing the Infrastructure Ontario alternative financing procurement model.

The Aquatics Centre features a 10-lane, 52-metre competition pool (with moveable bulkhead), a 10-lane 25 metre training pool, and a 5-metre deep diving tank with 10, 5, and 1.5m boards. The centre has seating capacity of 6,000. The 2,000 seat Field House will house a competition fencing venue, an indoor recreational track, fitness facilities and approximately 1,800 square metres of flexible gymnasium space. The Canadian Sport Institute Ontario will also be located at the complex and will offer sport science, sport medicine, coaching and training facilities.
