APPENDIX 01 Project Profile City of Richmond Richmond Olympic Oval

Description The City of Richmond was selected by Vancouver Organizing Olympic Committee to host the long track speed skating venue during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The facility must be completed by 2008 in order to host World Cup championships for our Canadian athletes before the Olympics. The building has two stories, a gross area of 52,000 sq.m., and is located on a 29-acre site on River Road along the North arm of the Fraser River between the No.2 Road and Dinsmore Bridges. In its legacy configuration, the two floors will include an integrated parkade, commercial spaces, a main hall integrating a wellness centre, a community fitness centre, a high-performance fitness centre, two short-track ice sheets, eight gym courts, and a field house. A post-game conversion will be required in order to reduce the seating capacity from 8,000 to 2,000 for legacy use. The Oval building is to be located on 15 acres at the east end of the site and the remaining 14 acres at the west end of the site are to remain undeveloped until the end of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. This area will serve as a staging area and accommodate ancillary facilities as necessary

during the Games. Upon completion of the Games, this area is to be redeveloped into a high-density residential community. The Oval building will be an iconic signature public building for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games with a clear span of 100 metres across the width and 200 across the length of the Oval. Designed and constructed to IOC, ISU and VANOC standards, it will be able to seat 8000 spectators during the Games and 2000 spectators post Games. The Oval is required to be a leading edge sustainable project, prominently feature BC wood or wood products, achieve a minimum of LEED® Silver certification and be programmed as a flexible world-class multi-purpose public facility post Games, convertible to festivals, events, concerts, and a variety of sports uses including being able to allow for ice floor and dry floor uses at the same time. The Waterfront Park portion of the project must be a premier urban riverfront and a key focus for downtown recreation and celebration both on the water and along the river’s edge. It will establish a pedestrian destination along the riverfront that encourages pedestrians and others to gather and linger and will include restaurant and other commercial activity within the Oval particularly post Games. A water feature is to be incorporated, as well as public art, cultural, and historic displays all forming a new waterfront edge. The total project budget is $178M. Commenced in July 2005, the site preparation works consist of clearing, densification, preload, and piling.

The goal of the oval area lighting is to provide an appropriate and flexible lightingsystem with primary concern on the post Olympic (legacy) function of the Oval. Thelighting level and quality will be for recreational facility which will be between 30 to 70FC and the lighting quality will not be suitable for broadcasting. The lighting forOlympic will be supplied and installed by VANOC. VANOC must provide the architectand structural consultant with information about the infrastructure they require formounting and powering their luminaries. In addition, they require to provide us withinformation about how they want to distribute power inside the building so we canprovide them with infrastructure they require. We have allowed for the power availableinside the main electrical room and we assume that VANOC will distribute power fromthe main electrical room to its lighting panel and luminaries.

The lighting system will provide the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of NorthAmerica) levels of horizontal and vertical footcandle levels, without exceedinguniformity requirements (Maximum to Minimum).

Energy consumption and maintenance issues will be considered in the selection oflight sources. Daylighting zones within the Oval will be considered in the design of theartificial lighting system.

Lamps will be chosen on the basis of accessibility, efficacy, and CRI (ColourRendering Index).

Basketball courts will be illuminated to a Class III (Club) level of 50 FC with auniformity ratio of 3.0 and a minimum Class IV (Recreational) level of 30 FC with auniformity ratio of 3.0.

Hockey Rinks will be illuminated to a Class III (Amateur) level of 75 FC (50 FCvertical) with a uniformity ratio of 3.0 and a minimum Class IV (Recreational) level of50 FC (25 FC vertical) with a uniformity ratio of 4.0. One of the two rinks will also havethe capability of being illuminated to 100 FC (75 FC vertical) with a uniformity of 3.0,for high performance play and possible television coverage.


Track and field areas will be illuminated to a Class II (College) level of 50 FC with auniformity ratio of 2.0 and a minimum Class III (Competition) level of 30 FC with auniformity ratio of 2.5.

At this point in the design, high performance 1000 or 1500 watt floodlights are beingconsidered as the primary light source. The luminaires consist of a spun aluminumreflector with quartz glass coating providing excellent light control and better thannormal vertical footcandle levels.

In general, luminaires for Oval lighting will be installed on structural components of theOval. Provisions will be made for easy accessibility of the luminaire and sighting ofproper aiming angles.

Control of luminaires will be via a computerized multiplexed relay system that will allowcontrol of individual luminaires or groups of luminaires.

Power density at this time is estimated to be approximately 20 watts per square meter.For the Olympic event, we estimate the load will be at 40 watts per square meter.
