THE SAINT-GEORGES MULTISPORT COMPLEX : BRIGHT & WELCOMING
CONNECTED TO THE HIGH SCHOOL , THE NEW SPORTS COMPLEX EMPHASIZES WOOD AND LIGHT
Connected to the Saint-Georges High School , the new Saint-Georges Multisport Complex is the result of a joint effort by the Beauce-Etchemin School Service Center and the City of Saint-Georges to provide toptier sports facilities for students and citizens . Designed by ABCP architecture , in consortium with Marie- Lise Leclerc architecte and Bilodeau Baril Leeming architects , the complex includes a double gymnasium , a recreational pool , a semi-Olympic pool with 10 lanes , as well as classrooms . It stands out for its wooden structures , large bay windows , perforated , diamondpatterned envelope , and energy performance . Inaugurated in the summer of 2023 , it was quickly embraced by the community .
Integration into a 1974 building The new structure extends lengthwise , parallel to the outdoor track , and connects to the high school at ground level . The sloping topography of the site was utilized to provide several ground-level entrances , accommodating all users , including those with reduced mobility . On the south side , visitors are invited to proceed to the main entrance along a curtain wall overlooking the pool , and sheltered by a marquee .
