Description
The Chauveau indoor soccer complex is a large regional sports facility commissioned by the City of Quebec. This project was the result of the city’s desire to create a noteworthy building based on the principles of sustainable development. The design sought to minimize the impact of the parking lots on the park environment and provide pedestrians with human-scale volumes housing various related activities. The roof structure is composed of a series of glulam arches with a 73 meter span. The building obtained LEED silver new construction certification.
