This Memorial Gym is part of the Memorial Recreation Centre (see memorial # 59015-027 and 029) erected by the Board of School Trustees and the Memorial Community Centre of North Vancouver. The building was unveiled by Captain John H. Cates, M.L.A. on May 24th 1949.
Frederick Lasserre helped to found the School of Architecture at UBC in 1946 and later—as an associate at Sharp, Thompson, Berwick and Pratt—designed the UBC War Memorial Gym.
