Project Gallery / Roberta Bondar Park Pavilion

This 14,000 square-foot (1.3 m²) outdoor venue accommodates a variety of special events in the Ontario area. A Birdair fabric membrane was used to roof this large open space covering a surface area of 38,650 square feet (3.53 m²). The fabric roof, which is designed like a tent, includes a single masted cone on one side with a truss V arch on the other side. The large cone-shaped membrane features murals of Native American scenes on its exterior, reflecting historic Ontario, Canada.
