The facility was completed in the fall of 2014 at a cost $58 million,[3] with $22.5 million coming from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and $11 million from the Goldring family, for whom the centre has been named.[4] The facility was designed by Patkau Architects and MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects in a joint venture, with landscape architecture by PLANT Architect, structural engineering by Blackwell, and construction services by Ellis Don.
Along with the 2,000-seat, internationally-rated field house for basketball, volleyball and other court sports, the multi-storey sport and exercise facility houses a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning centre, fitness studio and sports medicine clinic, along with research and teaching laboratories.[5]
The venue is also home to the BioSteel All-Canadian Basketball Game, an annual all-star game that features the best Canadian high school basketball players of the year.
