⚽🏟️ World Cup Stadiums Through an Architect's Lens | Part 3

BC Place in Vancouver is a powerful example of how great design can give new life to an existing structure.

Originally opened in 1983 as the world's largest air-supported dome, the stadium was transformed in 2011 with the addition of the world's largest cable-supported retractable roof. Inspired by the mechanics of a bicycle wheel, the innovative system allows the venue to shift from open-air to enclosed in just minutes.

Combined with its illuminated ETFE façade, BC Place has become both an engineering landmark and a defining feature of Vancouver's skyline.

A reminder that sometimes the most sustainable solution isn't replacement—it's reinvention.

We're excited to see our client Rock Solid Warrior featured in Triangle Business Journal as they continue their growth and expansion into the new Sports Facility in Rolesville.

Rock Solid Warrior will occupy an 11,000-square-foot facility featuring obstacle-course training inspired by the hit show American Ninja Warrior. The expanded space will provide new opportunities for athletes of all ages to develop strength, agility, and confidence.

Construction is well underway on the larger multi-purpose sports complex, which will bring together a diverse mix of athletic programs, including Rock Solid Warrior, basketball, and ice hockey, along with on-site dining.

We're proud to be part of a project that will bring energy, opportunity, and community to Rolesville. Stay tuned for construction updates as this exciting facility takes shape.
