Project Overview
The new facility (design to achieve Gold in the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification program) will include a gymnasium; a fitness space; arts and crafts studios; youth and preschool space; a 25-metre pool and a leisure pool; an NHL-sized rink, and a seniors’ centre. These spaces pinwheel around a central outdoor courtyard–a piece of the north shore, transplanted into the heart of the building–that infuses the daily experience of the building with natural light and views to the outside. The courtyard honours the legacy facility which utilized a similar approach, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor.
Sustainable design strategies include maximized heat recovery through CO2 refrigeration; a highly insulated building envelope; reusing rain-water; natural daylight and solar strategies; low-energy pool filtration systems, and electric vehicle and bike charging stations. HJCRC is on track to become CAGBC Zero Carbon design certified.
