Article source: Paul Laurendeau Architect Project description — Bold silver letters with a soccer ball printed on the main facade announce the building’s function — A black canopy signals the building’s entrance along Papineau Avenue for cars, cyclists and pedestrians — A 10 meter wide boardwalk along the front facade creates a link between sidewalk and main entrance — A symmetrical plan organizes all functions and helps the building assert its public role — A double height square entrance hall distributes the public along interior circulations axes and creates a link with the bleachers above — The fully glazed back facade offers an unobstructed view on the landscape of the former quarry — The wood structure brings warmth to this otherwise non combustible construction — Peripheral glazing at ground level create a link with adjoining landscape — The stadium simple form makes it stand out from its context — The building plays on the contrast between black exterior and wood interior

LEED considerations — A green roof — Front canopy that shades the facade against sun and prevents overheating — Black perforated lateral facades that can pre-heat air for mechanical systems — 100 bicycle racks that favor active modes of transport — A semi-permeable parking surface that allows rain water to drain naturally into the ground — Rows of trees integrated in the parking design to prevent over heating
