Project Overview
The Burnaby Lake Aquatic & Arena Facility was designed to be a destination recreation centre at the heart of Burnaby Sports Complex in B.C., Canada. The project began in 2019 with engagement, needs assessment and test fits, and was carried through to the completion of tender documents. In fall of 2023, the project as designed was abandoned related to the cost impacts of market and construction escalation.
The 190,000 sq.ft. facility included an NHL-sized ice rink, a destination aquatic centre (five lane, 25-metre pool, a leisure pool, a family-sized hot pool, a wellness zone, sauna, and steam rooms), and various informal gathering and play areas. The aquatic centre included a ten lane, 50-metre pool, with a moveable floor and bulkheads to enable competition, training, and community swimming, grandstand seating for 750 spectators and three diving platforms.
The new Burnaby Lake Aquatic and Area Facility was designed to be one of the lowest carbon emission buildings of its type in Canada, producing just 10kg/CO2/m2/yr.
