The Banff Recreation Centre contains two NHL-sized rinks, four curling sheets, meeting rooms, offices and coaching spaces for the local hockey academy. The site of the centre was used to help rehabilitate the environment around the arena. glulam framing and wood finishing gives a local feel. Much of the glulam structure was salvaged from an old school.
Working with Structurlam to make sure that the mass timber structure was executed smoothly was great. The communication during the shop drawing process was very professional and collaborative.
