Vancouver, BC, Canada
Construction Cost: not released by Client
Completion Date: 2011

BC Place Stadium, the first domed stadium in Canada, is undergoing a dramatic transformation, the key to which is a new retractable roof. The 60,000 seat multipurpose stadium will have its air-supported roof decommissioned immediately following the 2010 Winter Olympics for construction of the new 39,800 m2 (428,000 ft2) roof, with a 7,340 m2 (79,000 ft2) retractable center section. The new roof is supported on the existing stadium structure and was designed to minimize the facility down time for construction while re-establishing the venue’s icon status in the city. Geiger Engineers is leading the design team of the new roof as Prime Consultant and Engineer of Record with consultant Schlaich Bergermann & Partner LP.
