Sports & Entertainment Portfolio
“The right approach to sports and entertainment spaces has an impact far beyond successful events and athletes. When communities can cheer for every athlete and performer—from pre-kindergarten hockey players to the world’s most inspiring musicians—communities grow.”
Our experienced architects consider every aspect of how to host athletes, performers, and fans in a way that energizes and revitalizes community life. From aquatics centres, pools, fieldhouses, and training and therapy centres to indoor/outdoor stadiums and arenas, we know how to welcome thousands of people with comfort and a sense of occasion.
A well-designed recreation facility or multi-events venue has the opportunity to be an iconic beacon or landmark for a community. By understanding how people interact within these spaces and by engaging in a collaborative design process, we create facilities that add to the longevity and quality of life and vitality of the members of the communities they serve.
This is exemplified in the Chedabucto Lifestyle Complex, which serves the Municipality of the District of Guysborough in Nova Scotia.

“We have worked with municipalities across Canada to create spaces that engage community members of all ages and activity levels, within a wide range of budgets and program requirements. Our innovative designs create spaces that create opportunities for social interaction and help build communities.”

We are passionate about and are committed to the development of sports, recreation and entertainment facilities because they contribute to the well-being of residents and users by enhancing their physical, mental and social development by providing the opportunity for participation in physical activities, social interaction and enjoyment of cultural and community events.
We have completed over 75 recreation facilities, which include ice arenas, aquatic centres, gymnasia, sports fields, fitness centres and libraries. We have also designed over 30 spectator and entertainment venues (adding up to over 350,000 spectator seats) some of which are home to professional sports teams, have featured notable entertainment acts and have even hosted Olympic events.
