The Richmond Olympic Oval is a multipurpose sports and recreation facility that initially served as the Long Track Speed Skating venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics.  The 6.5 acre roof structure features hollow, triangular-shaped composite wood-steel arches which span 310 ft. and conceal mechanical ducts, electrical conduits and sprinkler pipes.  Spanning between the arches are novel, prefabricated “wood wave” panels consisting of pine beetle killed 2x4’s which have a unique aesthetic expression and outstanding acoustic characteristics. The concrete base/parkade structure was designed by the Glotman Simpson Group of Companies.
