The Burnaby Lake Aquatic & Arena Facility was designed be a destination recreation centre at the heart of Burnaby Sports Complex in B.C., Canada. The project began in 2019 with engagement, needs assessment and test fits, and was carried through to the completion of tender documents. In fall of 2023, the project as designed was abandoned related to the cost impacts of market and construction escalation.
Designed to enhance health and wellness for the community, the design for the facility was focused to encourage participation for people of all ages, abilities, genders, and cultures, while leading the way in sports excellence.
The facility was also designed to enhance its unique local ecosystem, and was aiming to become a leader in sustainable operations for the City of Burnaby.
