Location: University of Montreal, Carabins High-Performance Center, Montreal, Quebec
Objective: High performance, university team training.

Overview The University of Montreal completely reimagined its training center for its sports teams to create a cutting-edge high-performance facility tailored to the needs of its varsity athletes. Representing the spirit and strength of the Carabins, this facility is now one of the most advanced training centers among Canadian universities.

What Makes This Gym Unique The center highlights the Carabins' colors and branding, creating an inspiring and motivating environment. The innovative layout was carefully optimized to maximize space utilization, while the equipment selection was centered around the specific needs of the athletes. Key features include:

• Innovative Equipment: A 4-tier dumbbell rack with a sliding bottom row for easy access to the heaviest weights, jammer arms, and four double-sided half racks enabling efficient training for multiple users. The layout accommodates ten complete training stations (double the previous configuration), providing maximum flexibility for team training.
• Custom Solutions: Weightlifting platforms are seamlessly integrated into the flooring, creating a smoother flow in the room by eliminating potential tripping hazards. These features enhance safety and facilitate movement throughout the space.
• Optimized Storage: Two custom-made storage racks keep the space organized and efficient.

The new center also garnered significant attention during its unveiling, where the Carabins athletes and coaches celebrated its transformation and state-of-the-art design.

The Challenge The objective was to remodel the existing facility into a comprehensive training space focused on teamwork while incorporating custom branding and maximizing functionality. Ensuring that the equipment and layout met high-performance needs was critical.
