Abstract


This new sports center, site of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games, consists of a main ice rink of Olympic size with seating for 8000 spectators, in addition to a smaller rink used for the U.S. Games. The auxiliary services are found under the stands or in the structure which joins the new center to the rink used for the 1932 Games. The complex is completed with a Higher School and an oval rink for speed skating. With the combination of visible beams in white, seats in bright red, dark blue ceilings, outside stairways enclosed in glass and outside walls with white insulating panels, a pleasant overall effect is achieved both on the outside as well as inside.
