free-form activities. Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre reflects this shift in its design. For instance, the social staircase includes a small slide and climbing wall integrated into its seating. BUILT ON COMMUNITY INPUT The City undertook extensive public consultation to shape the centre’s design, functionality and priorities. Community feedback was vital in shaping the design. Public engagement revealed desired amenities such as an indoor cycling track, running track, urban court and sport courts. That feedback wasn’t limited to general users. Edmonton’s triathlon and cycling communities had a seat at the table. Input from cycling and triathlon communities ensured the facility would meet highperformance athletic needs. These communities provided practical insights and helped refine the design and functionality of the facility, while confirming that the facility met desired outcomes. ENGINEERING FOR IMPACT The architectural centrepiece of CPSRC is its distinctive clear-span roof, a solution that was essential for the facility’s indoor velodrome. The driving force for this design was to create an oval cycling track with a clear-span structure. Most velodromes require clear views of the riders on the track, which means no columns or supports in or near the indoor cycling track. 40 AUG 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA Building Structural 3D Rendering
