SHEILAH SWEATMAN GYMNASIUM ADDITION
Winnipeg, Manitoba

The Sheilah Sweatman Gymnasium addition is a joint effort by Queenston Elementary School and River Heights communities to provide physical education and recreation space. Situated to the north of the existing school, the addition pulls away from the existing building to provide recessed entries and exterior courts on both sides. The program includes a 4,800 sf gymnasium, change rooms, kitchenette, offices, as well as a public foyer. An elevator/stair link was designed to ensure that all levels of the existing 3-storey 1931 school are universally accessible and connected to the new addition.

PUBLIC CITY (then Peter Sampson Architecture Studio) was actively involved in raising private funds for the accessibility elevator and gymnasium addition, and served as Prime Consultant, Architectural Designer, and LEED consultant. Peter Sampson led as Project Architect in all phases, including a front-heavy IDP consultation process to negotiate the challenges of site, neighbourhood, and project requirements. Andrew Lewthwaite served as Project Manager during design and construction phases, supervising the production and coordination of all consultants and drawings, as well as Contract Administration services during the construction phase.
