Sports arenas have the power to light up a city’s skyline, put a region on the map and bring together all parts of a diverse community. Getting people into pools and onto running tracks, they quite literally boost the health and vitality of a neighbourhood. But juggling local needs and sensitivities with the intense pressures of the international sports world can be a challenge. At WSP we understand that all sports venues, from Olympic stadia to community swimming pools, must enrich the lives of those around them. We know how to respect the heritage of much-loved buildings, while keeping them relevant; how to create world-class facilities for schoolchildren and professional athletes alike; and how to minimise disruption during construction – making sure these crucial spaces stay in play for those who need them most. 07 Tower of the Montreal Olympic Stadium, Canada Sporting Community World-class Flexibility and Pace and Our About Prowess Icons Experiences Innovation Efficiency Services Us BC Place Stadium Breathing new life into a city landmark LOCATION Part of the fabric of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Vancouver’s 55,000-seat BC Place Stadium hosts hundreds of events each CLIENT BC Pavilion Corporation year, including sports, concerts, trade shows, and conventions.

The award-winning project was completed in two phases, starting with the interior upgrades to public spaces within the stadium, and as many structural upgrades as possible prior to the Olympics. In the second phase, the roof was replaced and the entrances and back- of-house areas revamped. The stadium now enjoys enhanced amenities, including field, seating, audio- visual systems, acoustics, illumination and ventilation. Its cable truss retractable roof transforms the building into an open- air sports venue when needed, while an integrated network of energy-efficient, digitally controlled architectural lighting illuminates the stadium on command, animating the city’s skyline. An innovative and holistic design approach has breathed new life into the stadium, transforming it into a world-class, modern facility and cementing its place as a Vancouver landmark. 09 Sporting Community World-class Flexibility and Pace and Our About Prowess Icons Experiences Innovation Efficiency Services Us New York University, Abu Dhabi Keeping students on track with a stunning sports centre LOCATION New York University in Abu Dhabi is centre, including an Olympic-size Abu Dhabi, UAE a new arts and science college, fully swimming pool, gym and 200m running CLIENT integrated into a major research track.

  • Safeco Field Seattle, Washington
    Safeco Field Seattle, Washington n 1995, Seattle’s profes- sionalI baseball team, the Mariners, decided they wanted a new stadium. Across the country, great baseball venues were being created, echoing the early days of old-style stadiums, fresh grass fields, and the great outdoors. After 21 years of playing in the fully enclosed Kingdome, the Mariners, too, wanted out in the sun, both for the joy of playing outside and the financial boost it would bring the team. But Seattle’s rainy climate dic- tated that the stadium be equipped with an “umbrella” to shield fans on days of inclement weather. And, thus, the demand was made: Build us a new stadi- um, open to the sky, with real grass, but make sure we can cover the field and the fans when it rains. Plus, do it by opening day 1999. With those ground rules, the design team set to work. The result is Safeco Field, a 47,000 seat, state-of-the-art, retractable roof ballpark. This one-of-a-kind project offers a landmark public amenity that will keep major league baseball in the region for years to come. It pro- vides good family entertainment, while stimulating economic growth and redevelopment in the area. Proactive management and innovative design solutions were required to meet the aggressive Modern Steel Construction / March 2000 project schedule and design chal- lenges. The retractable roof was designed for speedy erection and to minimize the impact on the construction of the seating bowl. The close proximity to the Seattle Fault required special seismic considerations, such as the use of an innovative viscous damping system in the roof that reduces the seismic forces by 50%.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.
