Details: Inspired to transform the traditional hockey barn, the project embraces strategies often considered non-traditional for ice rinks. This includes an intensive sustainability strategy and a local materials palette including regionally sourced timber, recycled steel, concrete and glass. Breaking traditional forms, the undulating roof nods to the 1950’s barrel-vault roof of the original mall, and indirectly to fluid athletic motion on ice. Glulam beams are proposed for the long-span roof, embracing local craftsmanship and allowing transparency for what often is a blank box.
