Richmond Olympic Oval

The Richmond Olympic Oval is a multipurpose sports facility in Canada with prominent wood beams and glass panels that define its modern structure. The facility houses ice rinks, running tracks, climbing walls, and fitness areas for various sports activities.

The facility was built between 2006 and 2008 as a venue for the Winter Games. Since then it has served the local community as a major sports events center.

The building was designed with feng shui principles that show in its roof form. The architecture connects to local wildlife symbolism and creates a space where cultural meaning meets sports function.

The site is easily accessible with parking available and public transit nearby for visitors. The different activity areas are well-marked and help visitors quickly find their way.

The building was constructed with integrated sustainable methods that made it energy-efficient from the start. These environmental considerations remain visible in how it operates every day and shape the visitor experience.
