New multi-use arena to feature luxury suites.


The demolition of the old sports arena and the reconstruction of the new Sault Ste. Marie Sault Sainte Marie — pronounced "Soo Saint Marie" (IPA /su seɪnt məˈɹi/) — is the name of two cities on the Saint Marys River, which forms part of the boundary between the United States and Canada.  Event Centre is underway.

"A majority of the work is happening right now," John Aquino, Bonfield Construction Ltd's vice-president says.

Currently, crews are tearing down the existing Sault Ste. Marie Memorial Gardens on the corner of Queen, Bruce and Bay Streets and beside it resurrecting the new 120,000-square-foot event centre with 5,000 seats and several luxury suites.

Originally, there were to be 13 suites located on the third floor of the complex, but the city is campaigning to sell 13 additional suites.

This is considered phase two of the project, which is currently being priced by Bonfield. Included in the estimate will be a phase three, where more luxury suites could become available if the demand is high.

"So far they have received holdings on three or four of (suites) in phase three." says Franco Pastore, principal with EPOH Inc. who designed the facility.

The suites will be equipped with eight to 10 seats and a small lounge area.

"The bleachers themselves are pre-stressed," Peter Nemec, design engineer for Rainbow Concrete says.

Concrete is poured around the tension cables, then the cables are released causing the material to be squeezed. This strengthens the bleachers and reduces cracking.

By Christmas most of their job will be done.

The arena's primary use will be hockey and ice sports. It will be the new home of the Ontario Hockey League's (OHL OHL Ontario Hockey League

"It also serves this community as a emergency response centre as well," Pastore says.

There will be an area where concessions or memorabilia will be sold. No shopping stores within the facility are expected as the complex is in the heart of the city's downtown core
