The Saint-Georges Multisport Complex recently won an award in the Sports Buildings category at the 2025 Cecobois Awards of Excellence gala. For this project, EXP’s civil engineering, structural engineering and geotechnical teams worked alongside a consortium of architecture firms including ABCP Architecture, Marie-Lise Leclerc Architecte and Bilodeau Bail Leeming Architectes.
The Cecobois Awards of Excellence recognize the innovative use of wood to construct commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-residential buildings.
This project consisted of building a 76,200 SF addition to Saint George High School. Designed to match the original 1974 building, the new construction added four classrooms, two training rooms, a ten-lane competitive pool, a double gymnasium, locker rooms, bleachers and a multipurpose room.
The use of baltic birch and maple wood enhanced the building’s aesthetic appeal and supported a sustainable development approach. Long wooden beams were integrated as critical elements of the building’s framework and contributed to a refined and natural design.
