Administrative history
The Trent Athletics Centre is the campus facility for university and local sports, recreation, and wellness. The Trent Athletics Department began in 1966 with shared facilities in downtown Peterborough with Paul S.B. Wilson as Director, a position he held until his retirement in 2002. Bill Byrick then served as Director from 2002-2014 followed by Debra Bright-Brungle from 2015-2022. Leslie Spooner was Acting Director from 2022-Fall 2024 when Nathan McFadden was hired as the new Athletic Director. The Trent Athletics Centre offers indoor and outdoor facilities combined with access to the Otonabee River, diverse nature areas and kilometers of trails. Trent students and community members have access to a 12,000 sq foot cardio loft and weight room that includes an indoor climbing wall, and indoor rowing/paddling tank. The Athletics Centre also has an outdoor artificial turf field and track, squash court, and the Health in Motion on-site physiotherapy, rehabilitation and sports health clinic .
Custodial history
Files in RG34 (and no further accession number) were forwarded to the Archives from the Athletics Department, in June 1993. Files in RG34-2023-1 were transferred to the Archives in the summer of 2023. These records were in possession of the Athletics Department and were located in a storage room prior to transfer to the Archives. Heather Schweighardt, a student staff member at the Athletics Centre, organized the material and provided a file list prior to their delivery to the Archives.
