SIMARD architecture was chosen by the City of Montreal to upgrade various equipment and to correct certain deficiencies. This vast, multi-faceted project consisted of gradual upgrading and maintenance of building assets to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for Center users. Replacement of the 1916 amphitheater seats, replacement of exit doors, upgrading of gymnasium floors and replacement of windows and roof. In parallel with this renovation work, the project helped to define a new visual identity at the gymnasium and to create a mezzanine dedicated to the practice of the "cardio gym".
