Seaforth Armoury

The Seaforth Armoury is a Canadian Forces armoury located at 1650 Burrard Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is the home of The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, a Primary Reserve Infantry unit. The building was designed by the architectural firm of McCarter and Nairne, and is now listed as a Class A Heritage Building. History From their creation in 1910 until 1935 The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada paraded at the Beatty Street Drill Hall with the Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles. The government was petitioned for a separate armoury to house the regiment and in the early 1930s a site was selected. The site selected was a plot of unused land at the south end of the recently completed Burrard Street Bridge. The address was fixed at 1650 on what had been called Cedar Street but upon completion of the bridge Cedar Street became Burrard Street. Work began in 1935 and construction was finished in 1936. The Armoury was opened on 26 August 1936. The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada formed up in a hollow square and the Governor General, Lord Tweedsmuir, took the Royal Salute as the first parade was held on the Square. In June, 2012 the Armoury began a 3-year $9.3 million seismic upgrade to upgrading the existing structure and renovation. A further $31.2 million was allocated to Carillion Pacific Construction for the construction of a new five-storey building which will be used for support organizations, as well as the headquarters for the 39 Canadian Brigade Group. The Jericho Armoury will be relocated to the Seaforth location, then divested. The Renovation was completed in May 2016. On Saturday September 24, 2016, the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada marched back to the Seaforth Armoury after an absence of four years. The new building becomes the new Vancouver Garrison and was officially named the Major General Bertram Hoffmeister Building after one of Canada’s best Generals, who had served for many years as a Seaforth. Occupants In the Canadian Forces, an armoury is a place where a reserve unit trains, meets, and parades. As well as being the home of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, the Seaforth Armoury is home to The Seaforth Museum, an official Canadian Forces Museum. In addition the armoury also garrisons 2 Cadet units: 72 (The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps 135 (Bell-Irving) Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron See also List of Armouries in Canada List of heritage buildings in Vancouver Seaforth Peace Park References External links The Seaforth Museum Archived 14 November 2013 at the Wayback Machine

Richmond Olympic Oval

A Richmond Olympic Oval egy többfunkciós sport- és rendezvényközpont a kanadai Richmond városában. A létesítményben rendezik majd a 2010-es téli olimpia gyorskorcsolya versenyeit. A csarnok építése 2006. november 17-én vette kezdetét. A jégpálya hivatalosan 2008. december 12-én nyílt meg. A csarnok közvetlenül a Fraser folyam partján épült. Az épületet a levegőből szemlélő egy gém kiterjesztett szárnyát láthatja, a tervezők ezzel akartak tisztelegni a környéken élő salish indiánok előtt, akiknek ez az állat volt a jelképe. A csarnok területe 33 000 m², a jégpályák hossza 400 méter. Az építmény egyik különlegessége a tető, amely a legnagyobb fából épült födém egész Észak-Amerikában. A versenyek alatt 8000 érdeklődő foglalhat majd helyet az épületben. A Richmond Olympic Ovalban összesen 12 olimpiai aranyérem sorsa dől majd el. A létesítmény főépítésze Bob Johnston, aki a calgary-i és a Salt Lake City-i téli olimpiák gyorskorcsolya-pályáit is tervezte. Az olimpia után a csarnokot többfunkciós sportközponttá alakítják.

Richmond Olympic Oval

Il Richmond Olympic Oval, o Richmond Oval, è uno stadio della città di Richmond, nella Columbia Britannica. In esso si stanno svolgendo le gare di pattinaggio di velocità ai XXI Giochi olimpici invernali; è inoltre la sede del laboratorio anti-doping dei Giochi. Costato 178 milioni di dollari canadesi, può ospitare fino ad 8000 spettatori. Caratteristiche Lo stadio è stato costruito dietro al Fraser, a pochi isolati di distanza dalla Lansdowne Station della Canada Line, una metropolitana che serve l'area metropolitana di Vancouver. Il tetto ha la forma stilizzata di un airone, tributo alle Prime nazioni e all'uccello, che abitava le sponde del fiume all'arrivo degli europei nella regione. Il tetto è stato costruito con legno danneggiato da un coleottero (Dendroctonus ponderosae) legate insieme in modo da formare un effetto ondulato; per questo il Royal Architectural Institute of Canada ha assegnato all'Oval un premio all'innovazione architettonica. Ha una superficie di 33.750 m², che comprende un pavimento principale di 20.000 m² che include il tracciato di pattinaggio. L'impianto è stato costruito per possedere la certificazione Silver del Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; ad esempio, l'impianto di refrigerazione del ghiaccio è costruito per riscaldare altre aree dell'edificio attraverso l'utilizzo di quello che altrimenti sarebbe uno spreco di calore. All'esterno vi è un ambiente progettato dall'artista Janet Echelman. Uno stagno viene riempito attraverso l'acqua che cade sul tetto, e serve come fonte d'acqua per irrigare i giardini circostanti e per le toilette; sopra di esso passano due ponti, ed è appesa una scultura. Il resto dell'edificio è stato progettato dalla Glotman Simpson Consulting Engineers. L'architetto principale è Bob Johnston, che è stato coinvolto anche nella progettazione dei tracciati di Calgary e di Salt Lake City. Costruzione La costruzione dell'impianto è iniziata il 17 novembre 2006; è stato inaugurato il 12 dicembre 2008. Gare preolimpiche hanno compreso i Campionati canadesi e i World Single Distance Championships. Dopo i Giochi Dopo i Giochi, la struttura verrà convertita in un impianto polivalente che includerà due anelli di ghiaccio, una palestra, una pista da 200 m e un centro per atleti d'élite. La pista da pattinaggio verrà coperta da un pavimento rimovibile, in modo da poter essere usata per altre competizioni. Lo stadio intende essere con il centro di un nuovo quartiere con un misto di edilizia residenziale, commerciale e pubblica.
