Lemay completes North America's largest indoor skating facility

Lemay has completed a facility dedicated to ice skating in Québec City, enclosing the full-length speed skating track with glass walls.

The Centre de Glaces de Québec was completed in September of 2021, and is the largest indoor skating facility in North America. In addition to its full-size and short-track speed skating tracks, the centre also offers separate rinks for ice hockey and figure skating.

Lemay completed the largest ice skating rink in North America

"This bold ice sports complex of elegant and restrained designs from Lemay is the largest of its kind in North America and the first on the eastern seaboard," said Lemay.

"The new Centre de Glaces is primed to inspire movement in Canadians, aspiring and established athletes alike," the Montreal-based firm added.

The structure has glass along the base

The form of the building resembles the outline of the larger speed skating track, which gives the structure its oval shape.

"The oval structure is composed of fluid and continuous forms that reflect the speed, dynamism, balance, and skill of a skater gliding on the centre’s 13,500 square metres of ice," said Lemay.

Its metal exterior "shines and fades as ice does", according to the architects.

Wood ceilings are over the walkway that encircles the track

The architects also took advantage of this specific layout to include two running tracks, one indoor and another immediately outside the building, allowing athletes to train in all seasons.

"One follows the periphery of the ice indoors and is complimented by a second that encircles the complex with rising and falling mounds, allowing for multiple viewpoints along the building’s outer envelope," said Lemay.

The interior features a simple colour scheme

On the ground level, glass walls let visitors look into the training facility, while also admitting natural light into the space.

"By focusing on absolute transparency, we have decompartmentalized the space to open it up to the community, connecting skaters to the outside world," said Eric Pelletier, architect, senior partner and design principal at Lemay.

This openness is made possible by spectator areas that are lifted above the ice surface, freeing up the ground floor for windows. Visitors access the upper floor via an angled staircase with a bright blue guardrail.

The centre's interiors feature a monochrome palette. The steel structure, mechanical ducts, and walls are all painted white, with a few accents such as wooden ceilings that help enliven the space.

The building hosts tracks as well as courts for hockey

Lemay was founded in 1957, and is headquartered in Montreal.

Other buildings dedicated to sports include the LeBron James Innovation Center by Olson Kundig, which was recently completed on Nike's campus in Portland, Oregon, and a gymnastics centre in Tokyo by Nikken Sekkei that showcases timber construction.
