Athletics and Recreation Centre South | Mitchell Hall

Athletics and Recreation Centre South | Mitchell Hall

Located at the corner of Union and Division streets on the former site of the Physical Education Centre, Mitchell Hall is a hub where every aspect of campus life intersects, blending academic and wellness spaces and emphasizing the links between physical and mental health and academic success.

ARC South | Mitchell Hall

The Physical Education Centre (PEC) originally opened in 1970, and closed in September 2009 to make room for the Queen's Centre and Athletics & Recreation Centre buildings. In 2013 the PEC was significantly renovated and parts of the building were reopened - the Bartlett, Bews and Ross gymnasiums for a range of activities, including intramural programs, large events, exams. On October 11, 2016 Queen's announced that it had received an investment from the Government of Canada, in addition to an investment from the Government of Ontario and the contributions of a number of benefactors to build an Innovation and Wellness Centre in the location of former Physical Education Centre. MORE ON THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

In the Fall of 2018 Mitchell Hall was opened featuring 3 gyms, indoor turf sprint track, additional weight and cardio space, and office space for Athletics & Recreation and ARC members in a space named ARC South. ARC South is connected to the main Athletics and Recreation Centre via a tunnel on lower levels.  "The opening of ARC South meant hundreds of additional hours of participation opportunities that will benefit all of our programs, from casual recreation and intramurals to varsity sports and community partners," says Leslie Dal Cin, Executive Director, Athletics & Recreation. "The new facilities allow us to provide additional programming and equipment to accommodate ever-increasing interest and demand from our entire campus community."
