Speed Skating Oval Envelope Consulting
Richmond Speed Skating Oval, Envelope Consultant, Richmond BC

Morrison Hershfield was the envelope consultant with Cannon Design for the innovative speed skating oval in Richmond, BC.  It was the third largest building of its type in the world at the time of completion.  

The $155 million facility uses innovative cladding materials such as polycarbonate cladding being employed to cover very large wall areas.  Other traditional materials such as curtain wall, metal siding and composite metal cladding are also used.

The Richmond Oval is a unique building with unique design and construction requirements.   Due to our experience in the development and testing of innovative building enclosure systems, we were in a position to evaluate the benefits and risks of using new envelope systems and defining methods of controlling the risks.   Our broad construction review experience was invaluable in developing details that provide the required building enclosure systems in the complex geometry and mix of systems desired by the architect.  When the tight schedule taxed the CADD capacity of the architectural team, we contributed by providing enclosure details.

Morrison Hershfield also assisted the team on Building Energy Modeling for BC Hydro Power Smart Incentive Funding.
