Sungod Recreation Centre

The Sungod Recreation Centre in Delta, BC is a comprehensive renovation and expansion project that transformed aging community buildings into a modern single-story recreational facility featuring multiple pools, an ice arena, gymnasium, and fitness areas. The project prominently showcases innovative wood construction through the use of glued laminated timber (glulam) in a long-spanning curved structural design that creates dramatic visual appeal in the natatorium while providing necessary structural support for large open spaces filled with natural light. This approach demonstrates how wood construction can be successfully integrated into large-scale recreational facilities, combining structural efficiency with aesthetic enhancement to create a dynamic community resource that has significantly increased facility usage since completion.
