The City of Toronto collaborated with Scadding Court Community Centre to modernize how residents access community services and facility rentals. The goal was to replace outdated, manual processes with a user-friendly digital portal that supports inclusivity, accessibility, and operational efficiency. Designed with input from both staff and community members, the new system simplifies bookings, enhances communication, and helps ensure that programs and spaces are easy to manage and accessible to all Torontonians.

Problem and Solution

Scadding Court Community Centre offers inclusive, community-focused programs but was held back by outdated, paper-based systems. Staff spent too much time on manual tasks, making it harder to support the community. We built a modern, accessible portal that simplified bookings and day-to-day operations. Staff can now manage rentals through an easy dashboard, residents can fill out digital forms, and the entire experience is designed to be accessible and intuitive for everyone.

The dashboard offers a snapshot of key center activity, helping staff quickly assess engagement and operational trends. It surfaces real-time data through visual summaries to support informed decision-making.

This view lets users browse available facilities such as the gym, lobby, and meeting rooms. After selecting a facility, they can view detailed information including rates, hours, and rental policies to decide if it suits their needs before starting a booking.

This page is used to fill out and submit a facility rental application. It captures key booking details and requirements to help streamline approval and processing.

Impact


  • Higher staff efficiency, freeing up time for community programming

  • Better user experience, reducing service backlogs and confusion

  • Increased access, with an inclusive UI enabling residents to navigate services independently

  • Improved operational visibility and planning for centre managers

Working on this project taught us the importance of designing for both staff and community members with different levels of digital comfort. We learned how minor process improvements, such as replacing paper forms with digital ones, can be. It can have a significant impact on efficiency and accessibility. Collaborating closely with frontline staff helped us build workflows that reflect real needs, and reinforced that inclusive, thoughtful design can truly make city services more accessible for everyone.
