Woodhouse Group Completes Major Renovation at The Aud for Kitchener Rangers
September 16, 2025
Kitchener, ON — Woodhouse Group is proud to announce the completion of a major renovation project at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium (The Aud), home of the Kitchener Rangers.
The multi-million dollar project focused on several areas tied to the Rangers’ operations, including enhancing player amenities on the main floor, moving the team’s business offices to the third floor, and converting the Subscribers Lounge into the new Don Cameron Media Room.
Upgrades to player amenities on the main floor included a newly constructed state-of-the-art fitness centre, expanded players’ lounge, and improved athletic therapy and recovery areas. To make room for this high-performance training space, the Rangers’ business offices were relocated to the third level where a full floor of offices was built and completed with modern finishes.
The Subscribers Lounge was also transformed into the Don Cameron Media Room, a second-floor space for accredited media, scouts, league officials, and staff. The room can be used on its own or connected to the adjoining space for larger events.
“The Rangers are an ambitious organization, focused on staying competitive and attracting top talent,” said Joe Woodhouse, Chief Executive Officer of Woodhouse Group. “This renovation reflects their commitment to excellence on and off the ice, and we’re grateful to the Rangers and the City of Kitchener for trusting us to lead the project.”
As the general contractor, Woodhouse Group managed the full construction process, coordinating design, scheduling, and multiple trade partners to complete the project within a compressed off-season timeline. Construction began in May and was delivered on schedule ahead of the new season.
Woodhouse Group’s Director of General Contracting, Jason Boyer, credits teamwork and collaboration for making that possible. “Our construction management team and trades worked hard to keep the schedule on track and ensure the spaces were ready in time. There were a lot of moving parts and a short window to get it all done, but we’re very pleased with how the project came together.”
In addition to leading the project, Woodhouse Group has chosen to sponsor the Don Cameron Media Room itself, a decision Joe Woodhouse said reflects the company’s long-standing connection with the team. “The Rangers are a wonderful partner and we’ve been a proud sponsor for decades. Sponsoring the Don Cameron Media Room brings the project full circle as part of our commitment to the team and the fans who support them.”
