Introduction:

Since 1978, the Canadian Grand Prix has been held at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, an artificial island in the Sankt-Lorenz-Stream on the Île Notre-Dame. The Canadian Grand Prix will not take place until 2029 unless the city of Montreal replaces the temporary facilities with a permanent facility capable of accommodating the event's current demands, according to Formula 1 officials. The 4,361-kilometer Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve's facilities were refurbished for around 50 million US dollars in a record 10-month period between the 2018 and 2019 races.

Solution:

Les Architects FABG Montreal chose a solution that included prefabricated concrete slabs, steel columns and girders, CLT timber panels, curtain-type facades, and demountable partition walls because of the short building period. After the Grand Prix, all items can be disassembled and utilized again at a later time.

Benefits:

With their very transparent and selective sun control coating, 3,600 m² of Saint-Gobain's COOL-LITE XTREME 70/33 II provide natural lighting and thermal comfort for guests and teams throughout race days.

We care about building better.
