[edit] History
In 1963-1964, the Université de Montréal purchased the Center Young Men and Young Women Hebrew association, situated on the corner of Avenue du Parc and Avenue Mont-Royal. The Center at that time had a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a palestre, and an auditorium. The Montreal Carabins of this period used the outside installations of the Parc Jeanne-Mance. The Physical educational Department and the Carabins occupied these places until 1976, year of the official inauguration of the CEPSUM which was built for the Olympics of Montreal.
The CEPSUM hosted the fencing and the fencing part of the modern pentathlon events during the 1976 Summer Olympics [2]. Following the Olympics, the CEPSUM became the sport center for the Université de Montréal. In 2004, after almost 30 years of use, important renovation work took place ( $ 12 million dollar cost) [3]. These important renovations were completed at the beginning of 2011 [4].
The CEPSUM also accommodates the Sports Medicine departement [5] and the clinique of kinesiology [6] of the Université of Montréal.
