Ontario Winter Games Pool John Rhodes Community Centre

Ontario

This building was commissioned as the indoor pool for the Ontario Winter Games. The overall complex contains a competition pool, children’s pool and recreation area, a new ice arena, restaurant, field house, meeting rooms, concession, classrooms to yield a multi-use recreation centre.

The building shares many common architectural and material features with the other buildings on the site to reinforce the wholeness of the recreational complex. Each building possesses a glazed two storey entrance and rectangular sports floor or activity area, all of differing scales and materials. As this is a public facility in a highly corrosive atmosphere, we incorporated very robust materials and systems to withstand abuse and environmental concerns.
