Scope note(s)

  • The first school gym was located in the original barn which burnt down in November 1913. As a temporary measure, the school enlarged a small barn which became a temporary gym until such time as a new gym could be constructed. The parents rallied together and fundraised to build the school a new gymnasium, which was opened in January 1915. It contained a complete set of apparatus for Swedish Gymnastics, as well as a stage. The building was located to the south of the barn, and would eventually be located between Powell's House Residence and the Chapel. In 1921 a changing room area was constructed under the stage. By 1926 a new lighting system had been installed in the gym.
  • During the 1954-1955 school year, fundraising began for the construction of a brand-new gym. The 'new gym' was located between the Classroom Building and the grass tennis courts, included a main floor 90 feet long and 60 feet wide, a stage and underneath the stage was a shooting gallery and storage space. The 'new gym' was completed during the 1955-1956 school year.
  • In 1967 the 'old gym' (built in 1915) was torn down to make way for the extension of the chapel.
  • In 2018-2019 the brand new A.W.B. Alumni and Athletics Centre opened with a new single gym and a double gym. The 1956 single gymnasium became known as the 'old single gym'.
