Venues & Landmarks in Windsor

The Toldo Lancer Centre is a significant expansion of the University of Windsor's recreation facilities, completed in July 2022. Connected to the existing St. Denis Centre, the new building adds over 120,000 square feet of space for athletics and social gathering. The project was notably funded by a historic $55 million contribution from the student body, aiming to create a central hub that supports the physical and mental health of both students and the surrounding community. The facility features several major amenities, including the "Lancer Commons," a large social hub with views into the different athletic areas. Key fitness features include a new triple gymnasium used for varsity sports and convocation, a two-level fitness centre with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 25-metre, 8-lane swimming pool. The pool was specifically designed with a zero-entry ramp to ensure it is accessible to people with mobility limitations. Beyond the workout spaces, the TLC focuses heavily on inclusivity and modern design. It incorporates a 200-metre suspended walking track, universal change rooms, and fully accessible pathways throughout the building. The centre also prioritizes sustainability and efficiency, utilizing high-performance LED lighting and integrated technology like the Fusion Go app to manage facility access and memberships.

The WFCU Centre is a premier recreation and entertainment complex offering a diverse range of rental spaces, including a 6,500-seat spectator rink, NHL-size rinks, and a dedicated Sports Gym for league play. The facility features a main floor Reception Hall equipped with advanced audio-visual technology and access to a commercial kitchen, making it ideal for large social events. For more intimate gatherings or business functions, the centre offers the Crown Royal Lounge with in-house catering, a Leisure Gym for fitness activities, and multiple flexible second-floor meeting rooms—such as the Great Lakes and Ontario rooms—many of which include kitchenette amenities and AV systems.
