The qplex [Quispamsis Conference and Recreation Complex] will be a 7,000 square metre facility to be located within a larger context of nature trails, soccer fields, tennis courts, running track & baseball diamond in the heart of this growing community within the Kennebecasis Valley in Southern New Brunswick. This new facility will contain a year-round NHL size ice surface, outdoor pool, indoor walking track, YMCA, administrative offices, conference centre with trade show capabilities as well as upgrades the area's vast outdoor trail system. Sustainable features include the use of a Geothermal heat recovery system which will heat the arena and pool, a storm water management pond, several water-conserving measures, measuring and providing a means of verifying energy performance. The building will be designed selecting sustainable building materials and environmentally preferred technologies and will seek to provide daylight to the main arena space. This project represents the town's commitment to minimizing their impact of the new facility & its subsequent operations on the environment of New Brunswick and its residents.(summary imported from CAGBC database. remove this message if edited) READ MORE
