Quote:

According to an article in the Surrey Now, the Chuck Bailey Rec Centre (aka: the Surrey Games Preparation Centre) is nearly complete construction. It is scheduled to open in November.

Meanwhile, the old Tom Binnie Community Centre next door has been gutted and will be demolished in the coming weeks.

Here’s so more pictures of the Chuck Bailey Rec Centre and it’s signature “glass cube” entrance.

Looks more impressive than the renderings. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Whalleyboy · #49 Posted **Oct 4, 2009, 10:42 PM**

what sort of training is it for?

mr.A · #52 Posted **Oct 9, 2009, 4:41 PM**

It is a new recreation center to replace the old community center. It will also be used as the 2010 Surrey Olympic volunteer training center

I see that site from the skytrain. So that's what it is.....

Looks great! cutting it close though, the site is still full of construction equipment...

Whalleyboy · #55 Posted **Oct 9, 2009, 10:06 PM**

the part that was used for training volunteer has been done for a while

also the old rec centre is already being torn down. I went by there yesterday and saw half of it destroyed

You know, I have to give these people credit where credit is due: I honestly didn't think they'd be able to finish it in time, but they have.

to you guys!

... now hurry up and start building that library already
