Recently, we highlighted Sport Systems' acquisition of a major project involving the TD Waterhouse Stadium. While such jobs are exciting to work on, Sport Systems recognizes the importance of our smaller-scale projects and executing them with the same level of excellence. For that reason, Sport Systems eagerly accepted the invitation to install floor coverings in Western’s gym.

While few know how this year will shape up, there are plans currently being put in place in states and provinces across North America to ensure a safe return to school. With the outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this year, schools and countless numbers of businesses were instantly shuttered in the interest of public safety. Following these abrupt closures came a lot of questions, not only about how students would complete the school year, but what this could potentially mean for next year’s students.

For many facility managers and operators out there, getting bogged down in the day-to-day can sometimes get in the way of ensuring that these types of athletic spaces are working for us as well. The fact is, your gymnasium should also serve your facility, be it a school or community centre, as an additional source of revenue. While this is common sense to many, there are a number of ways you might not have thought of that can contribute to your operation’s bottom line.

Over the decades, the large open space design of gymnasiums has been used as a makeshift setting for a large capacity banquet or an occasional awards assembly for the small local community. Fortunately, in the designs of today’s gyms, this multi-purpose concept has been embraced and modernized to accommodate an array of activities from sports and athletics to community events. **Making Your Facility a Winner** Whether you are interested in renovating and upgrading an existing gymnasium or creating a brand new one, solutions are available. With sports equipment, seating and lighting options available come in an array of designs ranging from stationary to foldable and even retractable, to allow space for other purposes. [Gym divider curtains](https://www.sportsystemscanada.com/gym-divider-curtains/) are also available to section off spaces for various events. Additionally, there is a wide selection of flooring options as well, all of which will help in making your facility a winner.  [Read More](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/gymnasiums-used-as-multipurpose-facilities) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/gymnasiums-used-as-multipurpose-facilities#comments) Topics: [Gymnasium Floor Covers](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/gymnasium-floor-covers), [Basketball Equipment](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/basketball-equipment), [Gym Divider Curtains](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/gym-divider-curtains) ## [Proper Care and Maintenance for Gymnasium Flooring](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/proper-care-and-maintenance-for-gymnasium-flooring) Posted by [Ryan Wilby](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/author/ryan-wilby) Nov 8, 2018, 4:12:00 AM ![basketball-on-wood-gym-floor](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/basketball-on-wood-gym-floor.jpg?width=1189&name=basketball-on-wood-gym-floor.jpg) The proper maintenance and care of gymnasium flooring will help preserve what was most likely a costly investment. The frequency in which a gymnasium floor should be cleaned is dependent on the amount of traffic involved. While gymnasium flooring comes in a variety of coverings ranging from hardwood, linoleum, rubber and padded, knowing how to clean it safely will increase the life and look of the flooring for years to come. Here we will review the care of some of the most common floor coverings used in gymnasiums.

During the process, you have assessed the prospective use of the cover, what you expect from it, and are expecting to save thousands in possible damages and perhaps even earn a little extra from your cover during its life.

While simply rolling out your gym floor cover ahead of your next non-sporting event in haste is relatively unlikely to result in any major damage, it is the compounding effects these activities can have that ultimately make the difference.  As such, we have compiled a couple of helpful tips you can use in your facility when storing, placing and removing your gym floor cover to add yet another level of lasting protection to your gymnasium floor.
