Project Description
JAN.PAD Developments have put forth a submission to erect a recreational center in the heart of
the West Island (Montreal). While several sports centers are located within the island of Montreal, they
each offer a limited selection of sports. The objective of The West Island Community Center (WICC) is to
offer a single location in which most common sports can be found, organized and participated. The WICC
will compose of (but not limit to, as it is still to be determined): swimming pools (olympic and recreational),
football field, squash courts, hockey rink, tennis courts etc. While the majority of these sports are found
within the structure; an effort to provide an outdoor experience will still be achieved.
The initial submission composes of two parallel and identical buildings connected by a pathway on
its most upmost level. Between the two buildings, a common exterior space can be established; composing
of exterior fields, parking, parks (to be determined). While the number of storeys is yet to be concluded
(based on the number of available activities chosen), the initial concept comprises of 6-8 storeys per
building. The first 3-4 storeys will be exclusive to recreational activities. Between the 4th and the 6th floor,
a segregation of building composition will be established to create an outdoor experience within the
building infrastructure. Here you can find leisure spaces composed of coffee shops, lounges, resting areas
etc. Finally, the top 3 stories will be composed of rentable spaces (designed to incorporate either corporate
or recreational). Interlinking the two parallel buildings is a skyway which will compose of the same space
as the top three floors from either end of the buildings. In order to have an efficient building, elevators and
pathways separating the recreational and corporate sectors of this building must be segregated accordingly.
The structure type of the building is going to mainly be composed of steel; with the exception of
the core and parking (2 subfloors) being that of concrete (to be determined). Additionally, with the new
REM extending to the end of the island; the WICC will be easily accessible to the vast population of
Montreal.
JAN.PAD. will provide the client with valid data demonstrating why a recreational center was
chosen at the suggested location to eventually erect their future development. Once confirmed - zoning
bylaws and setback regulations will be used to draw up schematic architectural drawings. Using the
National Building Code of Canada 2010, all architectural and structural layouts will be adhered to.
