Legacy & Sustainability
A key venue for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, the facility is LEED Silver certified. It utilizes a closed-loop system that captures waste heat from the ice plant to heat the building. It is also considered a global benchmark for accessibility, designed specifically to support sledge hockey with transparent boards and level-entry ice access.
