Description
Occupying a prominent location within Calgary’s downtown core, and featuring a highly memorable tensile fabric roof stretched over an arched spine, the publicly funded Talisman Centre provides the city of Calgary with national-level sport development, recreation, wellness, and rehabilitation facilities in a landmark facility. A comprehensive construction and renovation program addresses usage rates exceeding the Centre’s design capacity. The facility now houses a double gymnasium with jogging track, an expanded two-level fitness center, a physiotherapy and lifestyle skills suite, and a second 50m aquatic facility with support spaces for swimming, water polo, and synchronized swimming. Major interior renovations encompassed entranceways, circulation, cardiac wellness, meeting and changing facilities.
