The signature venue for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, the Richmond Olympic Oval is the first Olympic speed-skating facility ever designed for long-term use. The building spurred the creation of a new urban waterfront neighborhood in Richmond, BC and continues to nourish and support it.  Image Courtesy © CannonDesign

The Oval is different in that it continues to enrich its community as an international center for sports and wellness and venue for community events. The Oval’s level of program convertibility and multi-sport use is unprecedented in high-performance sport buildings. The main activity space allows ice sports to co-exist with other sports or community uses simultaneously and the facility can revert to a speed skating oval. The building is also a model for sustainable design, earning LEED Silver and generating operational cost savings across its lifespan.
