The NFOE / HCMA consortium, comprised of NFOE et associés architectes from Montreal and HCMA Architecture + Design from Vancouver, announced that it has been awarded the Complexe Aquatique de Laval through a juried design competition. The design, which was unanimously selected from four finalists, was unveiled to the public at a ceremony held on January 18th in Laval, Quebec.

?We are tremendously honored by the opportunity to further explore and develop aquatic architecture on this special site in Laval,? says Darryl Condon, Principal Designer for this project and Managing Principal at HCMA.
The destination facility will offer a unique experience for recreation and competitive swimmers alike. The team looks forward to seeing it come to life in the coming years.

Design Concept

The new aquatic complex will be a striking circular form that transforms its site into a vital civic centre. The winning proposal is based on three primary objectives ? maintaining the vitality of the site?s ecosystem as an essential part of the city?s network of forested areas, creating an experience of swimming within a forest, and developing a scheme based on efficient use of resources.
