英国的FaulknerBrowns事务所提出了在加拿大西南部城市埃德蒙顿兴建自行车馆的构想。这个地方，冬季寒冷而漫长，能达到摄氏-20度，场馆的设施在室内和室外都可用，全年适用。场馆的四周采用加拿大木材包层和不锈钢屋顶，看上去像是舞动的丝带，和自行车道的设计相互辉映。这里将成为加拿大第二个主要的室内自行车馆。

地址选在了加冕公园，最初是在1957年英国女王伊丽莎白二世的时候开放的，是一处彰显着王权的景观。设计师同当地的两家事务所进行合作，分别是Hughes Condon Marler Architects (温哥华) 和 Dub Architects (埃德蒙顿)。设计团队的“将社区和精英运动相结合”理念赢得了委员会的青睐。

自行车道是高于地面的，与地面的社区娱乐设施相连，比较直观。从入口进来，就是公共活动区和篮球场，连接着周围的公用场地和绿地。建筑师表示，与世界上其他地区的室内自行车馆不同，这座场馆的车道经过抬高，位于上层，十分显眼，与众不同。从场馆的中心处向四周望去，能纵览附近的美景。

车道的建材通常是生长周期较长的西伯利亚云杉。建筑师正在和加拿大木材委员会进行沟通，试图找到更多当地供应的合适木材，从而促进整个项目的可持续发展。

British based FaulknerBrowns Architects have proposed plans for “one of only two velodromes in recent memory being planned” in the city of Edmonton, Canada. In a place where winters are cold and long, reaching -20 degrees celcius, the facility can be adapted for both indoor and outdoor use throughout the year. Clad in Canadian timber and polished stainless steel shingles wrapping around the building like a “twisted ribbon resembling the twisted sinuous cycle track,” the scheme will be only the second major indoor cycle track facility in the country.

The site, located in Coronation Park, was originally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957 and contains a landscaped setting based on the Royal sceptre. In their collaboration with two local practices – Hughes Condon Marler Architects (Vancouver) and Dub Architects (Edmonton) – the design team’s “mix of community-focus and elite-sports expertise” was key to winning the commission.

The cycle track will be raised by a full storey above ground level “allowing for a high level of connectivity between the community recreational facilities at ground floor, including direct views from the building entrance through public spaces and an ‘urban basketball court’, with direct physical and visual connections through to the surrounding parkland.” According to the architects, “unlike almost all other indoor cycling facilities in the world, the cycle track at the upper level will have unrivalled visibility and views of this typically isolated sport directly from the ‘social heart’ of the building.”

The material used for the velodrome track is commonly the slow-growing Siberian Spruce. The architects are currently working with the Canadian Wood Council to try to find a more locally sourced supply of appropriate timber and thereby “make the project that bit more sustainable.”
