The building features a three-court gymnasium with seating for up to 2200 spectators, an elevated four-lane running track, lecture and classroom facilities, teaching and research laboratories, and the Allied Health Centre, which encompasses sport medicine, physiotherapy, student health, and the Dr. Paul Schwann Centre. The CKHS houses the university’s team rooms including the Rams team headquarters, a dedicated combatives room, movement studios, and a 240-car underground parkade. The university’s volleyball and basketball teams play their home games in the main gymnasium, while the wrestling teams practice in the combatives room and host meets in the main gym. The track & field teams train on the elevated running track.
Rams/Cougars Field
The Rams/Cougars Field is a fully lit facility made of Sportexe artificial turf that was constructed in 2005. Since then, it has been the home of the U of R's women's soccer team and has been the practice facility for the Rams. Situated in a picturesque on-campus setting, the field also played host to its first Canada West football game on Oct. 27, 2006, with the Rams hosting the Calgary Dinos. Future expansion, including permanent seating and a press box, is planned.
