The Victoria Gym, Sir George Williams’ main recreation space since 1981, will remain open until June 15 despite expectations that it would close at the end of March.
“I’m pleased. Everyone who goes by the desk is really enthusiastic,” said Vladimir Pavlicik, Assistant Director of Campus Recreation.
Pavlicik has watched countless staff, students and alumni use the equipment of the former elementary school, which was built in 1898. There are currently 1,000 registered users.
Unfortunately, the building is literally crumbling now.
He hopes that new facilities in the EV Building will be accessible soon.
