Project context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Georgina Multi-Use Recreation Complex (MURC), located in Keswick approximately 80 km north of Toronto, represents a major development for the local community. This new facility was designed as a multifunctional space capable of accommodating a wide range of sports and recreational activities under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective was to create a modern complex that promotes community engagement and healthy, active lifestyles. Advantage Sport\u2019s mandate included the installation of a 16,000 square foot main gymnasium as well as the construction of an elevated running track surrounding the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge and objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advantage Sport was required to design and install flooring systems suited to a versatile, high-traffic municipal environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary objectives included:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Install a high-performance hardwood floor in the main gymnasium<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Integrate a safe and durable elevated running track<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensure compatibility between the different flooring systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provide a solution adapted to sports and community activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Guarantee long-term durability and performance
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The challenge was to coordinate the installation of two distinct systems within the same complex while maintaining cohesion, safety, and performance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technical solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Main gymnasium: <\/strong>The 16,000 square foot gymnasium was equipped with a ClutchCourt Performance Core system, a hardwood sports floor engineered to deliver structural stability, shock absorption, and consistent ball rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This system is particularly well suited to municipal environments hosting competitions, training sessions, and diverse community programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Elevated running track:<\/strong> The running track, installed on an elevated platform surrounding the court, covers approximately 6,300 square feet. Advantage Sport installed a PolyTurf Plus Pad & Pour (9+2) system in blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This seamless poured-in-place surface provides high wear resistance, continuous performance without joints, and impact absorption that enhances user comfort. The multi-lane configuration allows simultaneous use by different groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Results and benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The complex now benefits from an integrated athletic environment combining hardwood performance with resilient surfacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The benefits include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • High-performance hardwood gymnasium suitable for competition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Safe and durable elevated running track<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Versatility for sports and community activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enhanced comfort through shock absorption<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Modern infrastructure promoting community engagement
      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The MURC now stands as a major recreational hub contributing to the vitality and growth of the Georgina community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
