CentrePlace Pavilion

Building Construction

CentrePlace Manitoba, a 2,560-square-foot pavilion located at LiveCity Vancouver Downtown, evokes a sense of Manitoba's seamless diversity - from our sculpted landforms, lakes and rivers to our vibrant urban centres. It is a sustainable building proudly created with Manitoba products and technology, and designed to the highest green standards. In fact, CentrePlace Manitoba, has been awarded the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) Sustainability Star to highlight sustainability in action.

The pavilion features a striking translucent curved outer wall, organically shaped and housed within linear planes of reclaimed elm woodwork. The semi-transparent façade, brought to life through vibrant mural projections, creates immediate interest by offering an intriguing glimpse of the exhibit within. The panels allow a tremendous amount of natural light to enter the building. They are also 100% recyclable, and once dismantled, can be used for future building projects.
