Description

The City of Waterloo required a twinning of an existing arena facility to meet the recreational needs of the community. The design was developed, using the full public process, by a project team of 14 staff, council members, user groups and local residents. The result was a facility which is unique and suitable to all user groups. This was accomplished despite difficult site restrictions and extensive renovations to the existing facility. The new features include:

An increase from 250 to 650 seating for twin pad ice surfaces.

An attractive fully glazed lobby and entrance area.

Upgraded library facilities.

Skylights over the new ice surface providing natural light during daytime use.

Paved parking for 200 vehicles.

Wheelchair accessible elevator.
