CIF Field House officially opens September 17
President and Vice-Chancellor Feridun Hamdullahpur and the Department of Athletics and Recreation are excited to announce the grand opening of the long-awaited Columbia Icefield Field House (CIF Field House).
On Tuesday, September 17, the $16.5 million project will be officially unveiled from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The event will engage students and the greater Waterloo Region community in an activity-focused and celebratory-style program with an anticipated 150 campus contacts and approximately 100 elementary school students in attendance. A formal presentation will begin at 11:00 a.m. Following the event, guests are invited to attend the President’s Welcome Barbecue.
Constructed just north of Warrior Field, the 65,000 square foot Field House will connect the west side of the existing Columbia Icefield (CIF) building and feature a multi-activity turf space. While students will primarily benefit from this new addition, the Field House will also be available for community bookings and other external uses such as Warriors sports camps and special events.
