The expansion of Université Laval's Pavillon de l'Éducation Physique et des Sports (PEPS) included the construction of a sports amphitheatre, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a wading pool, new training rooms for use by the public and Rouge et Or athletes, as well as spaces dedicated to related services.
The design of this project presented its share of challenges, such as the integration of wood into the structure of a large-scale non-combustible building, the management and control of users, and the complete restructuring of circulation and changing rooms. With this expansion, the PEPS has become the largest university sports complex in Eastern Canada, and can now offer a wide range of sports programming to the population.
One of the challenges faced by the design team was to expand an introverted modern pavilion and open it up to the outside world. An interplay of modularity and existing concrete panels enabled the extension to be harmoniously integrated. Subtle shifts in the modules allowed the integration of windows and added movement to the composition of the imposing facades. In addition, a fully glazed volume on the north side ensures the transition between the existing building and the extension, and becomes a veritable lantern announcing the building's vocation to the public thoroughfare at nightfall. The new entrances are marked by red canopies that draw the eye and guide users.
