In 2011, RHAD won an international design competition hosted by the City of Edmonton. Of the three projects that were entered by RHAD, all were short-listed and the Victoria Park Speed Skating Pavilion submission won. The LEED Silver designed project exemplifies the firm’s approach to integrated sustainable design. It is a multi-use building that extends lines beyond the building itself into the park and city as a whole. The black corrugated cladding of the exterior blends seamlessly with the natural setting of the pavilion while the warm exposed glulam structure inside provides a much needed warmth to the winter-use space. The project includes a “dry-land” training facility for the Edmonton Speed Skating Association, a multi-purpose room, a public observation room for speed skating, an exterior public observation platform for observing the North Saskatchewan River Valley, plus standard service facilities such as accessible washrooms, an equipment maintenance workshop, and a zamboni garage.
