Le Transit Sports Center of Val-d’Or
Share
The expansion project aimed to provide Le Transit secondary school in Val-d’Or with a new sports centre. Ground floor amenities include a lobby, a gymnasium and adjacent spaces. The second floor houses bleachers, a race track and a training room. In their materials and colours, the new, streamlined façades provides a perfect complement to the existing building.
For the new gymnasium, the designers applied the open-box principle: it seems to open to the exterior thanks to the generous window work on the north side. This new approach to the traditional gymnasium, too often isolated and closed off, creates a relationship with the outdoors and provides natural light that appeals to users.
