[2] It is located on the northern grounds of the university's campus near the intersection of Highway 401 and Morningside Avenue.

Opened to the public on September 2, 2014, the complex consists of a 3,500-seat aquatics arena (6,000 during the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games) with two Olympic-size swimming pools and a diving well; and a 2,000-seat field house that includes four full-sized gymnasiums, a fitness centre, a climbing wall, and a 200-metre track.

In 2009, students at the University of Toronto Scarborough voted in favour of a 25-year levy which will contribute about $30 million to the facility.

[6] The official ground breaking for the facility was on 27 September 2012 and was attended by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

[3] The field house consists of three gymnasiums, a 200-metre indoor running facility, racquet sports courts and a centre for fitness which the entire school community can use.

Starting in 2022, the Field House hosts home games for the Scarborough Shooting Stars of the Canadian Elite Basketball League.
