Inspiration for the project is taken from the Alberta landscape. Architectural ideas explore the building as topography, reflecting the Alberta landscape through an undulating roofscape whose diverging slopes present opportunities for clerestory glazing and the provision of natural light to the interior. Natural materials are emphasized, creating an environment that is visually appealing and healthy for building occupants.

Outdoor recreation opportunities complement the interior program.

The twin-pad ice arena includes a fully accessible ice sheet for sledge hockey.

This project has achieved LEED® Silver certification and includes sustainable features such as a vegetated roof, efficient mechanical systems, re-use of waste heat for the arena spectator seating area and change room radiant heating, efficient pool filtration systems, and reduced water consumption. A transit loop by the main entrance and connections to the adjacent multi-purpose recreational trail system encourage active and more sustainable modes of transportation.

You walk in, it’s warm, it’s inviting. The way the wood plays with the steel and glass — it all works together.
