A patented technology of corrugated steel structural panels was used to build out an indoor soccer stadium, Saguenay, Que., which shifted the weight of the building to its walls, cancelling the reliance on columns and reinforcements, thereby reducing construction costs, and allowing for faster delivery.
This choice of material also provided efficient insulation, resulting from having no framing elements such as columns and studs inside the walls, which could affect the insulation or create thermal bridges.
Honco Buildings, as the design-builder for the Centre Multisport de Saguenay project, and the owner of the steel structural panel technology, utilized the services of the architect, James Leemings, to craft the design of the building.
The architecture of the centre’s service areas revolves around two major regional economic pillars: lumber and aluminum. The presence of fenestration on the curtain wall, and the staircase composed of aluminum and glass situated between the curtain wall and the synthetic field help to maintain the lighted aspect of the whole building.
A system of curtain dividers suspended from the ceiling divides the main synthetic soccer field into three playing surfaces. The simple and functional operating mechanism provides maximum surface area both along the wall and in the clearance areas without apparent structure. Good sized locker rooms are located along the court to minimize travel distances.
