TORONTO — The Armenian Community Centre of Toronto is getting funding from the federal and provincial governments for the expansion of its existing facility.
The 15,479 square foot expansion includes six multipurpose rooms, a music room, common room, robotics lab, an expanded gathering lounge, a larger entrance to the facility, new, accessible universal washrooms, more storage and renovations of the gymnasium floor and HVAC system. The upgrades are expected to create a more comprehensive, multipurpose community hub that is able to offer additional programming.
