Mill Woods Sport Park panel for glass where required. "The south facing crescent shaped building will create a micro-climate on the site for users to view the participants on the ice," says Hill. She adds that the pavilion was designed with a close eye on the environment. "It is located remotely from gas, storm and sewer lines, and uses a geothermal system for heating, and an extensive swaling system in the landscape to control water on site" she says. "The pavilion is a 'mass timber' project, using Glulams for the primary structure, and Glulam structural panels for the roof and wall secondary structure. The mass amount of wood used allows the building to act as a 'carbon store.' Discarded snow from the Zamboni will also be filtered and reused." The Mill Woods Sport Park Pavilion, designed by Dub Architects Ltd., is located in the centre of the Mill Woods Sport Park, which contains a variety of playing fields. The new structure is expected to serve as a focal point for the park's many users. The pavilion is a simple charcoal masonry box open to a south forecourt with a deep overhang and MILL WOODS SPORT PARK LOCATION 2730 66 Street, Edmonton, Alberta ARCHITECT Dub Architects Ltd.

FIVE PAVILIONS – TOTAL COST: $13.2 million screen providing protection from the summer sun. Interiors are a contrasting white with exposed concrete floors. "Its main functions are to provide change rooms for team members and officials, serve as a storage area for sports equipment, provide washrooms for the public, and a space for a concessions stand," says Gene Dub, of Dub Architects. "Although the pavilion adopts a pedestrian scale, the design also features a large photo-voltaic structure – a 'solar tree' – to be built in a future phase that addresses two major issues beyond the primary space requirements. "Firstly, the design serves as an easily identifiable urban marker for Mill Woods Community," he adds. "The park hosts major events and the pavilion serves as a point of reference for users within the large park, as well as a way-finding feature for people approaching the site and its distinctive silhouette serves as an identifying image. Secondly, the design stresses the city's interest in sustainable design and carbon footprint reduction as the project incorporates a spirited demonstra- tion of using photovoltaic solar collectors to generate power for the pavilion." n COURTESY DUB ARCHITECTS LTD.
