Excerpt of project description from the City of Sorel-Tracy :
“Lemay and Riopel+Associés architects are at the origin of the concept of the new aquatic complex. The team describes the project as follows: “We were inspired by the place and the history of Sorel-Tracy. The volume of the basin will be covered with metal panels in galvanized steel, which evokes the metallurgical work of the local industry. In the pool area, a glazed perimeter is planned with the aim of creating a connection between the project and its landscaped environment. Finally, the large pool also includes a wooden structure.»
