New Facility
This new recreational facility incorporates a number of innovative design features to enhance functionality and flexibility. The 3,500-seat, Olympic-size ice arena is expandable to 4,500 seats without requiring structural modifications. The 31-metre, eight-lane recreational/competition swimming pool has a raisable floor that, when lifted, provides an additional dry land training area. When lowered, the floor allows for depths of up to 1.8 metres for competitive events. A moveable bulkhead provides additional options for a wide range of aquatic events. The complex's bar/banquet area can accommodate up to 400 people, and can easily be sub-divided into four rooms, each with separate access. Other facilities include meeting rooms, viewing galleries and a fitness centre.
