Description
Competition website: 2015 Pan Am Games Awards Pavilion

Pan Am Games Award Pavilion

On July 10th, 2015, over 8,500 athletes and team officials representing over 40 different nations will arrive in Toronto to participate in the 2015 Pan American Games. For two weeks, the Pan American Village, located in Toronto’s waterfront district, will serve as a central hub of sports, celebration and international friendship. After the Games, this area will provide the basis for a sustainable, vibrant new neighbourhood of housing, office space, retail, restaurants and staging areas.

Located on the site of the Pan American Village, the Awards Ceremony Pavilion will literally and figuratively be the stage by which the world views the success of the athletes and the host country. This semi-permanent structure will function as a multi-purpose platform during the Games and must remain flexible for future uses post-Games, such as an outdoor theater, a musical performance stage and social gathering spot.

By utilizing vinyl products in the design of the Awards Ceremony Pavilion, designers will ensure the structure is not only cost-effective, but also energy efficient, sustainable and resistant to weather exposure, among the many benefits offered by vinyl. In developing an efficient and creatively designed facility, the Pavilion will serve as an icon for Toronto and the Games.
