Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness

Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness, Sports and wellness center at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Canada

The Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness is a sports building on MacEwan University's City Centre Campus in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. It stands on land donated by CN on the former Canadian National rail yards, where campus construction began in 1991. The building holds a swimming pool, fitness centre, spin studio, mind/body studio and gymnasium under one roof.

The Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness opened in May 1993 as part of MacEwan's City Centre Campus, built on land donated by CN on the former Canadian National rail yards at the northern edge of downtown Edmonton. It took its current name in September 2009 after a donation from the Christenson Family, honouring their financial contribution to the building.

The Griffins field men's and women's teams in basketball, hockey, volleyball, soccer, cross country, curling and golf, competing in the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference and, since 2016, as a full U Sports member in Canada West. The centre is where the basketball and volleyball squads train and play at home.

The centre sits in the City Centre Campus complex, whose south entrance lies within the centremost of three groups of concrete spires topped by a public clock. The building is on the northern fringe of downtown Edmonton, on land once occupied by Canadian National rail yards and donated by CN.

The facility can accommodate about 2,000 people and formerly hosted the Edmonton Energy, a team from the International Basketball League, from 2008 to 2009. This chapter of local sports history made the building a venue for professional basketball games in the city.
