Description
The 7,140 m² multisport complex project is the result of a partnership between the Commission Scolaire Beauce-Etchemin and the town of Saint-Georges, with the aim of supporting and integrating values that they consider important both for the educational success of their students and for a healthy, active lifestyle in the community.
The ground floor houses all the pool-related functions, including reception, lifeguard rooms, the universal changing room, storage and staff rooms. The sports pool has 10 25-metre lanes with 1 and 3-metre springboards. The recreational pool covers an area of 220 m² and has a beach entrance and water games. This level is completed by a 34 m x 24 m double gymnasium with changing rooms, as well as an office area, a training room and four classrooms. The functions that are specific to the maintenance and operation of the building are found only in the basement.
On the first floor, we wanted to free up as much of the floor space on the pool side as possible for the benefit of users (spectators and parents). As a result, there are 250-seat bleachers opposite the sports pool, 100-seat bleachers opposite the gymnasium, a training room and a larger hall opposite the leisure pool for meeting and studying.
