THE TENNIS CENTRE
Langley, BC; 2023; approx. 48,000 sq ft; Cross (X) Architecture, architect of record
The Tennis Centre in Langley, BC places early learning alongside year-round recreation, bringing child care, tennis and fitness into one family-oriented destination. Completed in 2023, the approximately 48,000 sq ft facility combines a 36,000 sq ft six-court indoor tennis hall, a 9,000 sq ft daycare and a 3,600 sq ft fitness centre.
The Province’s funding announcement identified 108 new licensed child-care spaces: 48 for infants and toddlers and 60 for children from age three to school age. The daycare has seven classrooms and three playgrounds, with care for children from three months to five years and opportunities for tennis lessons. Large windows look out to nature and the playgrounds, and diffused skylights bring daylight into the interior spaces.
Value engineering throughout design development made it possible to deliver several distinct programs within one construction budget.
