The City of Oshawa is moving forward with a $50-million project to modernize its Tribute Communities Centre (TCC).

In a release, the city says the project has now been issued for tender, supported by a developed design that will continue to evolve through subsequent phases of the project.

First opened in November 2006, the TCC will undergo extensive upgrades, including a major expansion of the main entrance, enhanced fan experience features and interior renovations, seating for a minimum capacity of 7,000 a refreshed concession area, and improved player facilities.

The building is home to the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals and the Oshawa FireWolves of the National Lacrosse League, as well as concerts, and other major live events.

“As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Tribute Communities Centre, we are excited for this strategic investment in Oshawa’s future – one that will transform the region’s premier sports and entertainment venue in the heart of downtown Oshawa,” said Mayor Dan Carter. “The expanded entrance, upgraded seating, and modernized amenities will elevate every event and ensure the TCC continues to meet and exceed the expectations of its fans, performers and athletes and of our valued partners.”

A key element of the modernization is the relocation of the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame to a high‑visibility location at the front of the TCC. The redesigned space will provide greater public exposure to its displays.

The modernization will position the facility to host large-scale sporting events such as Memorial Cup, and help additional sports, entertainment, and live performance opportunities.
