The Hillcrest Centre (Vancouver Olympic / Paralympic Centre)

The legacy conversion of the Hillcrest Centre (formely named the Vancouver Olympic / Paralympic Centre) was completed in fall 2011. In Olympic mode, the curling venue provided a four-sheet competition surface surrounded by 6,000 temporary seats. The reconfiguration to the Hillcrest Centre comprises a community centre, an ice rink, an eight-sheet curling club and a branch library. The Aquatic Centre  portion of the facility is now open to the public.

The project anticipates LEED® Gold certification.
