The Solutia World of Color Awards™ | Inspired by Vanceva®

One of the legacies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics is the stunning new community rink at the Killarney Community Centre in Vancouver, BC. The rink was used for short-track speed skating training sessions during the 2010 Winter Games and has recently undergone conversion to accommodate community recreation use.

The project features a variety of custom laminated IMPACT by Lami Glass standard and clerestory windows featuring Vanceva® Color by Saflex®. The band of narrow windows strategically placed around the perimeter of the ice rink is a very effective way of bringing natural daylight into the inner space of the arena without distracting views or compromising privacy. The vivid Vanceva® Color product not only provides a striking contrast to the white ice, the relatively high transparency also allows athletes and spectators to see the sky. The result is an enclosed yet open-feeling space that provides a rose-colored peek at the world outside 365 days a year.
