Brant Sports Complex

Brant Sports Complex

The Brant Sports Complex is an 80,000 square foot facility that offers two NHL size ice rinks with a seating capacity of 700, plus a pro shop, meetings rooms for up to 500 among, and other areas for public and private events. The 3,400 SF building façade is an Alice® direct to glass printed design with the appearance of an ice rink, complete with skate marks slicing through the white.

This glazed gallery runs the entire length of the building’s north facade, allows players and spectators to enter at different levels at either end and provides panoramic views into both rinks. From the exterior, it creates an architectural billboard that broadcasts activity to the surrounding community.

An innovative integration of fritted glass graphics confidently celebrates civic pride and alludes to the beauty and excitement of ice skating and hockey. The building is made all the more dramatic by its sloping site, as it seems to gain a horizontal dynamic from the relationship of the glazed plane and the rising terrain.
