Phase One Redevelopment
The implementation of Phase One of the Revitalization & Redevelopment Project began in July 2008. Phase One expands Evraz Place’s role in providing modern, new multi-purpose sport, recreation and tradeshow facilities and gives priority to a new community entrance from the north side of the property plus the addition of new parking capacity for sports clientele.
One of the most important components of Phase One is the construction of six multi-purpose arenas that are connected to both the Credit Union EventPlex and the Queensbury Convention Centre. The complex will feature six regulation size ice surfaces with the main arena providing seating for approximately 1500 spectators. The facility will also feature a full service concession, lounge, an on-site Tim Hortons and a retail/pro shop location. Design innovations will make these facilities especially suitable for spectator ice sports, but will also provide large spaces for Canadian Western Agribition, the Royal Red, Buffalo Days, the Western Canada Farm Progress Show and other major national and international events.
The Brandt Centre has also undergone some recent upgrades. At a cost of over $1.2 million, a seat replacement was completed in 2007. In 2008, the facility moved to a fixed end wall scoreboard and the upper deck TV monitors were replaced with LCD screens. In the spring of 2009, another $4.1 million will be invested in east end seating expansion along with the installation of air conditioning and dehumidification systems.
