UBC Thunderbird Winter Sports Arena Complex
Vancouver, BC

The UBC Winter Sports Centre, or the UBC Thunderbird Arena is a competition winning design/build project for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The preservation of large trees and use of native plant material put the Pacific Northwest character on a pedestal. Custom detailing and the use of strong simple materials reflect the campus surroundings, pedestrian connectivity, and activate the building edges.
