St. John's Regional College ball court cover

Challenges and solutions
Our client wanted the ball court cover to be a modern statement piece of architecture. We provided different options of design, including a curved roof cover, which was chosen.
To ensure schoolyard safety for students playing inside the cover, we designed the building to have round columns and no wall bracing to prevent unwanted sharp edges and obstacles.
Working with tight site access, our project management team and installers collaborated closely to ensure the roof lift went smoothly.
