Time-lapse video shows progress of Burlington community centre construction

The Skyway Community Centre is on track to open later this year.

Already several components are in place that give a clearer picture of what it will look like.

A new time-lapse video has been released which shows the building progress of the $40 million structure that is taking shape on Kenwood Ave. in the southeast area of the city.

When complete, the facility will be Burlington’s most state-of-the-art public building.

The 47,000-sq.-ft structure will be home to an NHL-sized ice pad with seating, six change rooms complete with washrooms and showers, multi-house program areas with kitchens, and a three-lane indoor walking track among several other amenities.

And that’s just inside.

The surrounding park will see a new baseball diamond with dugouts and seating, accessible pathways, a children’s play area and washrooms.

As the video shows, the work is continuing at a brisk pace and the project is expected to be finished and open for use by the summer of next year.

Here is what has been done so far.

• Structural steel has been erected and a metal deck has been installed
• Masonry walls completed
• Roofing is ongoing
• Door frames and window frames are being installed
• Work is underway to prepare the floor for pouring of the concrete rink slab
• Geothermal wells have been drilled at the back of the property
• Baseball diamond field posts are installed with a fence and net to follow
