SHAPE Architecture worked closely with City of Burnaby staff and stakeholders to transform 1,000 square metres of vacant space within the existing facility into new recreation and music program areas. The layout maintains clear sightlines into the activity spaces, allowing arts and recreation to be visibly on display within the public environment.
A key feature is the two high-performance music practice rooms which were detailed with high performance acoustic assemblies and increased which effectively eliminated sound transmission and allowed the rooms to be located directly off the main public corridor with large glazed openings.
