| Description: |
The
Clarington Indoor Soccer facility is the first
for Clarington. The 28,000 sf facility boasts
a 180 x 100 ft indoor soccer field with artificial
turf, spectator seating and viewing areas, change
rooms, a classroom, food bar, and administration
offices. The Facility also includes an outdoor
lacrosse field complete with dasherboards and
concrete playing surface, and outdoor seating.
The structure is a unique system that employs
the use of concrete tiltup walls with longspan
roof trusses. The benefit of this wall system
allows for an interior playing area that has no
exposed steel beams, typically found in prefabricated
steel frame systems. There are no columns for
any one to run into, plus all the electrical outlets
are cast into the wall system. The Architecture
of the facility is inspired by the soccer ball,
and takes advantage of the plastic and sculptural
nature of the tilt up wall panels. The motif of
the soccer ball is transcribed into the wall surface,
and is playfully "bounced" along the
building elevations.
