Guelph Sports and Entertainment Centre

Guelph, Ontario

PBK Architects Inc. were selected by the City of Guelph to design a downtown sports and entertainment centre with a seating capacity of 5,000 persons. As part of its mandate, PBK Architects analyzed different downtown sites and finally proposed to build the new facility within the present downtown mall to replace the closing Eatons Store.

The multi-purpose centre is fully integrated with the two levels of the mall. The second floor of the mall flows into the concourse level of the arena and the existing food court provides the concessions and food service on this level. An additional club lounge and restaurant services the club seats section located behind the players' benches. An upper tier of seating accommodates private suites and specialty V.I.P. club seating with private bar and lounge.

This facility is the home of the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm.

Cost: $21.0 Million

Size of Facility: 130,000 s.f.

Number of Seats: 5,000
