This series consists of documents written on the growth and development of the Athletics Centre from 1964-2014, including reports, newspaper clippings, and correspondence. The Athletics Department has gone through many periods of transformation. From shared facilities in downtown Peterborough, to a temporary Air Hall, to having a permanent home on the Nassau campus. There was a great need for a designated facility at the Nassau Campus. Budgets initially allowed for a temporary ‘air hall’ to be set up to relieve the need for renting shared facilities in downtown Peterborough. Eventually, a new building was developed on the west bank of the Nassau campus and became the permanent location for the Athletics Centre. This is reflected in the architectural briefs, drawings, research and publications of the development of the Athletics Centre building and services offered.

The Development Fund was established in 1969 and ran through 1974 with a goal of raising 5 million dollars. The campaign was supposed to culminate in 1969 but at that time had only raised about 2 million dollars.
