Simon Fraser University – Stadium Canopy

About the project

The new SFU stadium was the culmination of a vision born alongside the founding of the university – the intent was to design an outdoor gathering space for both formal and informal uses, providing a variety of gathering and viewing opportunities that allowed students the freedom to enjoy events as they decided. The expansive cantilevered roof, which covers over half the seating, integrates a press box at the terrace level with washrooms, service spaces, and the football locker room located below.
