Starting spring 2022, Whitby will begin renovations on the Whitby Civic Recreation Complex (CRC) change rooms to help meet both the immediate and future recreational needs of visitors to the facility.
The goal is to create more modern, efficient and accessible change room spaces. In particular, new family/inclusive change rooms will be created to improve access to aquatics programming for families with young children, residents who are 55+, and individuals with disabilities. The Men’s and Women’s change rooms will also be renovated as part of the project, said a town statement.
Upgrades include:
- A new universal/family change room with 22 change stalls (up from 3), 100 lockers (up from 28), 12 baby change tables (up from 1), 19 showers (up from 3) and 4 washrooms (up from 2);
- Wider hallways will make it easier for families with strollers or residents in wheelchairs to move throughout the universal/family change room;
- An upper-level universal washroom to better serve residents with disabilities;
- Renovations to the existing women’s public changeroom, men’s public changerooms and aquatics staff changerooms;
- A new multi-purpose programming space for all age groups to enjoy: and,
- Safety equipment upgrades including a new fire alarm, expanded pool audio system, pool lighting and improved ventilation systems.
The town is asking residents are invited to learn what improvements are being made, view the floor plan and preliminary design concept for the change rooms and share their feedback between now and Monday, November 1.
