Verdun auditorium
The major transformation of the Verdun auditorium and the Denis-Savard Arena is a project to completely rebuild the Denis- Savard arena and revalue the historic architecture of the auditorium by peeling off its metal envelope while modernizing the interior of the complex .
The intervention attempts to create a dialogue both temporal where the ancient meets the modern and geographical , where the River borders the city . Thus , the meeting of the architecture takes place in an emblematic axis of this double dialogue , the foyer , from where it is possible to observe the two ice simultaneously while circulating from the city to the river .
The project also aimed to equip the complex with a new energy-efficient refrigeration system as well as obtain LEED Gold certification . Among the various strategies used , we note the reduction of water consumption in the operation of the arena , the efficiency of the mechanics , and the construction of a high-performance envelope for Denis-Savard .
Concept The iconic Verdun Auditorium is located at 4110 LaSalle Boulevard , on the banks of the St . Lawrence River right by the Verdun urban beach at the convergence of three significant roads in the borough : Avenue de l ’ Église , LaSalle , and Gaétan-Laberge boulevards .
Its location on the river and in the historic center of the district makes it one of the most important landmarks of Verdun . It is one of the many recreational and cultural facilities located along the Saint-Laurent river including the Arthur-Therrien pool , Verdun urban beach , Verdun Natatorium , and the Saint-Dizier Nivard House . It is also part of the civic facilities of the former municipality including the parish complex of the church of Notre-Dame-des-Sept- Douleurs , the Verdun Hospital Center , and the current Verdun borough council . The surrounding area is mostly residential except for a few shops scattered on Avenue de l ’ Église and Boulevard LaSalle . It is a typical district of Verdun in that it ’ s composed of rectangular islets with an alley .
