Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park

Calgary, AB

A multiple award winner, this portion of the Canada Olympic Park features three NHL-sized rinks, as well as an international-sized arena that has seating capabilities for up to 3,000 people.

This project is the cornerstone of the Canadian Centre for Sport Excellence, an initiative to rejuvenate and modernize Winsport's infrastructure and facilities,. Winsport Arenas features three NHL-sized rinks, an international-sized ice rink with seating up to 3,000 people, multi-purpose public plaza, a public sport development centre, and the national high performance sport training facility. The arenas features long span Glulam beams that form the backbone of a very sustainable design. Choosing wood products over other materials avoided emissions of almost 5,800 metric tonnes, which is roughly the equivalent of 1100 cars taken off the road for one year.
