CONTRACTOR
To facilitate its rapid growth of young families, Blackfalds needed to expand its multi-plex arena to serve as a hub for community gathering and events. The new Eagle Builders Centre is centrally located in Blackfalds and also serves surrounding communities in central Alberta. The addition includes new arena and home to the BCHL Blackfalds Bulldogs club, with a dedicated space for the team to train, recover, and relax. It also includes a new public library and public boardrooms.
The cutting-edge building includes a variety of precast concrete elements that are as multifunctional as they are aesthetically pleasing. The innovative design ensured that no space was wasted, and all aspects of the building were value engineered.
Eagle Builders optimized costs by using load-bearing precast whenever possible to eliminate the need for columns, and because it was produced only 4 km from the site, the project saved on delivery costs. Architectural visual elements made of precast concrete were used to enhance and jazz up the atmosphere.
Once inside, you will be awestruck by the grandiosity of the building that includes one-of a kind features including a black elevator shaft that features a dramatic formliner texture and a precast concrete block wall, which was achieved using a combination of forming techniques. The Eagle Builders Centre was built of the highest quality precast wall panels, columns, beams, bleachers & interior walls, creating a safe and durable place the community will enjoy for generations.
