Help Shape the New Community Room at Albert McCormick Centre
Official title: Albert McCormick Community Centre and WPL McCormick Renovation Project
Waterloo's Albert McCormick Community Centre is getting a major upgrade. The city wants your ideas for the new multi-use community room being added as part of the renovation. Phase 1 focuses on energy efficiency and accessibility improvements. Phase 2 adds a flexible community room, expanded library, and new amenities like a sensory room and commercial kitchen.
Why This Matters
Use this community centre? Your input will shape what activities happen in the new community room. Whether you want basketball, fitness classes, or community events, now's the time to speak up. The upgrades also mean better accessibility for people with disabilities and more inclusive spaces for everyone.
What Could Change
The new community room will have sports flooring and a basketball net, but programming decisions are still being made. Your feedback could influence what equipment gets installed and what activities are offered. The city will share a report in Winter 2026 summarizing community input before Phase 2 construction begins.
Key Issues
- What multi-use activities should the new community room support?
- What programming and equipment would best serve the community?
