Preston Memorial Auditorium Expansion Design
Project overview
The project outlines the renovation and twining of the Preston Memorial Auditorium and associated amenities, approximately 71,000 square feet including new and renovated areas. The construction will include improvements to the existing change rooms, ice pad, ice resurfacing room and other amenities and the addition of a new NHL size ice pad, seating, changerooms, washrooms, multipurpose and office space. The existing Parks Services, Gymnastics and Club/Storage buildings will be demolished to accommodate parking and the new addition to the arena.
Based on the current schedule it is expected that construction will begin in the Fall 2023 and will take approximately 2 years for completion.
Sponsorship campaign is currently underway - www.cambridge.ca/sponsorship.
