"SMEC - Soccer Complex Architecture Competition"
This is not an ideas competition: the laureate project will be built! This twostage competition's objective is to build a new covered soccer stadium (1,000
seats) and, at a later stage, an outdoor playing field at the Saint-Michel
Environmental Complex (SMEC). The SMEC area use to be the Miron quarry and
landfill site but has been converted to a major urban park in the last 15 years and
where, most noticeably, the Cirque du Soleil has decided to build their
headquarters. The SMEC is a model in sustainable development: hence, the new
soccer complex is targeting a LEED-NC "Gold" certification.
