A Gym Divider Curtain Update for Collège La Cité

Located in the east end of Canada’s capital city, Collège La Cité (also know as La Cité), is a beautiful 60-acre campus serving eastern Ontario as the province’s largest French language college. Established in 1989, La Cité proudly offers over 90 programming options and serves over 5,000 students in the National Capital Region.

The college is a consistent top-ranked Ontario college when it comes to student satisfaction, graduate employment rate, and overall quality of learning. The impressive results of the annual survey conducted by the province’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities speak for themselves and we were fortunate to have been involved in a big project with the school this year.

As part of some upgrades to the school’s athletic facilities, our team was asked to provide a viable solution to replacing an outdated gym divider. As part of any project such as this one, our team was deployed to the school to assess the current condition of the curtain, take the required measurements and provide the best solutions to dividing the gymnasium moving forward.

Based on the requirements outlined by key stakeholders at the school, it was determined that our 4020 Fold Up Gym Divider Curtain was the right product for the job. This virtually maintenance-free model of curtain is a great choice for all kinds of facilities complete with an upper section of 9oz vinyl-coated mesh and a durable lower section comprising of our 19oz solid vinyl.

After an agreement was made on the model of curtain, our team was deployed back to the site to safely remove and dispose of the existing damaged curtain ahead of installing the new curtain. The project went off without any headaches and was completed on time and on budget once again.
