Covered ice rink in Saint-Apollinaire
Saint-Apollinaire, QCThe Espace Philippe Boucher in Saint-Apollinaire’s Terry Fox Park is a multi-use, covered ice rink that hosts skating and hockey in winter, and sports like pickleball and basketball in summer. The standout feature is its hybrid wood-and-steel roof, supported by turned wood columns designed to give the appearance of a floating canopy. Glulam V and inverted V columns line the rink, blending load support and bracing into a seamless element. The wood-and-steel trusses span nearly 99 feet, with varying depths based on load requirements. CLT decking and glulam beams form the secondary structure, topped with plywood for reinforcement. The innovative design provides maximum protection for the wood beams against the elements. Cantilevers in both directions direct water away from the structure, minimizing the maintenance and ensuring the longevity of the building's components.
