Community sportsmanship

| OKALUX | Reference

The Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex in Ontario is a diverse venue for the Canadian city's community.

In the 1990s, it went down in Waterloo's history as the largest construction project and has hosted professional and amateur sporting events ever since. Its recent expansion and renovation led by Parkin Architects not only enhanced the facilities but also its design and environmental efficiency.

OKAWOOD ABACHI has been used here as particularly sustainable insulating glazing. It gets its name from a delicate wood grid within the space that acts as a direction-selective sun and glare shield. Through the spacing between the slats, warm-toned daylight continues to enter the interior, contributing to a welcoming environment for the community's diverse range of activities.
