Use for: hockey

• Boy's hockey has been played at Appleby from the very beginning, however the programmed suffered difficulties mainly tied to the weather since student's ability to play the game depended on rink that was flooded on Powell's Field. The covered rink opened in 1927 and allowed for more consistant play. However, the roof collapsed on January 14, 1945 and thereafter the team had to practice at the arena in Oakville. The J.S. Gairdner arena opened on Feb. 6, 1970 which allowed for a permanent home for Appleby's hockey team. With the introduction of coeducation, a Varsity Girl's Hockey team was introduced in 1998, under Coach Marg Hagey.

• The Henderson Science Wing and greenhouse were added on to the J.S. Gairdner Arena in 2006.

• In 1987 the house underwent extensive renovations under the supervision of Oakville architect and Appleby Old Boy, Gren Weis. The floor plans remained similar to those of the original house, although some changes were made, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house was gutted down to the outside walls, with the addition of new plumbing and electrical, as well as adding insulation to the walls, which had never been done. The centre of the house was jacked up and steel I-beams on concrete block piers were installed to stop the sagging floors. Parts of the roof rafter ends, eaves and frame outer walls on the second storey were replaced due to extensive water damage. A gas-fired forced air heating system and all new interior fittings and finishes were also installed. The second-floor space was redesigned with the addition of a family room, master bedroom with ensuite bath, two smaller bedrooms, and a bathroom, as well as a guest suite with a bed-sitting rom and its own bathroom.
• In the summer of 2001, The Headmaster’s residence was repainted inside and out. It was re-carpeted and tiled in the front hall. The deck was the major portion of the work. The retaining wall was rebuilt, and the top patio was brought to one level. The bottom patio was completely regraded and sodded and reworked to allow for a larger tent to accommodate large crowds when entertaining. The stone patio had been pulling away from the wall of the house and the porch had been falling apart and these were the first renovations to this part of the house in 15 years.
• In 2022 the house was renamed McLean House, in honour of longtime Headmaster Guy McLean.

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.
