Facility Access

Our usual pool facility (UofT’s Athletic Centre located at 55 Harbord St, Toronto) is a bit of a maze. Therefore, the following floor plans with routes towards the different pools and change rooms is provided below.

FACILITY ENTRANCE

Entrance to the UofT Athletic Centre differs per practice night:

  • Tuesday/Thursday/Friday Practices: Use the Main Entrance on Harbord St (North side of Athletic Centre)

  • Sunday Practices: Use the Spadina Entrance on Spadina Av (West side of the Athletic Centre)

FLOOR PLANS

On the floor plans below, an overview is provided of walking routes towards the different pools and change rooms at the UofT Athletic Centre.

Pools

Instructions for reaching the Varsity or Benson Pool:

  • Varsity Pool: Enter via the Main Entrance on Harbord St (picture 1) and take the first door on your right (picture 2) to access the Varsity Pool Gallery (picture 3). This will take you past the Spadina Entrance (picture 4). Take the stairs down towards the Basement Level (picture 5). At the bottom of the stairs, choose to use the Spadina Change Rooms (gendered) on your left (picture 6), or take your shoes off and walk past the diving boards adjacent to the Varsity Pool (picture 7) towards the Family Change Room (gender-neutral) or the Main Change Rooms (gendered, picture 8). The Family Change Room also has a secondary entrance (picture 9, first door on the left).

  • Benson Pool: The route towards the Benson Pool is a bit of a maze. You will have to access the hallway towards the Benson Pool from the Varsity Pool deck (see picture 8 and 9), take the staircase up towards the main level (picture 10), after which you will have to make a few turns (picture 11) before you can enter the Benson Pool (picture 12). On the Main Floor, make sure to follow the blue signs. Right adjacent to the Benson Pool, an All-Gendered Change Room (gender- neutral) is available (picture 13).
