This Lindsay Design-Build Tilt-Up Concrete facility includes a state-of-the-art rink, viewing area, bar, kitchen, and dressing rooms and was constructed with energy efficiency being a top priority.

Tilt-Up was chosen for its durability, insulating value, and fire resistance. A light-reflecting R40 white Fleeceback roof covers Tilt-Up sandwich wall panels with R20 insulation in the rink area

and R40 in the viewing area. An HVAC system allows waste heat from the ice-making process to be recovered to warm the floor slab in the viewing area or heat the air in the rink space
.

Lighting is controlled by motion sensors which , in turn, run the ventilation and exhaust systems, reducing energy usage in unoccupied areas of the building. “Initial discussions with Lindsay Construction were positive and created an tmosphere of understanding and trust that extended through to those working on the job site” says Windsor Curling Club President, Rae Winkelaar. 

“With Lindsay expertise, a new curling facility has been created that will provide indsor and the surrounding area with an appropriate and environmentally sound structure that will exist well in into the future.”

In April of 2004, Lindsay began the nearly one-year task of constructing a building addition and renovation for St. Margaret’s Centre. This project entailed a new 900 seat arena, gymnasium, and community complex.

Five years later, the Centre awarded Lindsay their Design-Build interior renovations in preparation for Canada Winter Games 2011. This recent project entailed removal and replacement of the floor slab and coolant lines serving the original arena constructed in the mid 1980’s.

At that time, Lindsay was engaged in this project as the Design-Builder of the Pre-Engineered Metal Building shell. Since then, we have been able to work closely with this community group to repeatedly provide construction services they appreciate, technical support they value, and a relationship that works for all parties.
