Woodbine Racetrack (Phases 1-4) // Toronto

The modernization of Woodbine was comprised of a multiple staged construction program to revitalize an aging facility. With the phased work, the Woodbine Entertainment Group transformed the facility into a colorful entertainment complex that offers a 60,000 sq ft gaming area that holds 1,700 slot machines and a renovated world-class racing floor that services the Woodbine patrons.

Exterior stair towers and curtain wall cladding added to replace interior stairs. Second floor racing improvement included new mutuel betting windows, heating and ventilation upgrade, grand stand enclosure, life safety system installation, restaurants, ceilings, and flooring. The project included installation of a fully finished casino space for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation on the first floor. The key to successfully completing this dynamic project on a tight schedule was the team approach among all stakeholders.
