Size These buildings have an area of fair territory 112,000 sq.ft. and area of foul territory is very large. When the size of building is change, the ratio of the building also will increase. This will affect the overall cost for construction. High An integral part of the stadium, the Montral Tower is the highest inclined tower in the world, with a 165-metre elevation and a 45-degree angle. The Tower of Pisa, by comparison, only has a 5- degree incline. The first 92 meters of the Montreal Tower are made of concrete, and the rest is made of steel. Marine Industries made the steel caissons of varying shapes and sizes, in Rimouski. On November 16 and 17, 1986, the coffered ceiling of the niche was hoisted. The lifting of this piece took over 40 hours. The Montreal Tower has a mass of 166,000 metric tonsthe equivalent of 3 aircraft carries. The Tower reached its final elevation in 1987. Plan shape This building is quite difficult to construct because the pelan shape is curve. More complicated the shape will increase the wall / floor ratio and increase the cost of building. The stadium's nickname "The Big O" is a reference to both its name and to the doughnut shape of the permanent component of the stadium's roof; "The Big Owe" has been used to reference the astronomical cost of the stadium and the 1976 Olympics as a whole( 52m). The actual gpa for this building are tower 5,500m2 and stadium 43,504 .

Total height La tour de Montral, the tower incorporated into the base of the stadium, is the tallest inclined tower in the world at 175 metres. Number of storey It was supposed to be a retractable roof stadium, the first of its kind, but all kinds of problems delayed completion of the roof until 1987- the 552-foot leaning tower (comparable to a 55 storey bulding and is the world tallest inclined structure) used to retract the roof stood half finished until then, when the roof was finally completed. Functional requirement The Olympic swimming pool located under this tower. An Olympic velodrome ( since converted to the Montreal Biodome, an indoor nature museum) was situated at the base of the tower in a building similar in design to the swimming pool. The building was built as the main stadium for the 1976 summer Olympic Games. The stadium was host to various events including the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, and football finals.
