This Adidas sponsored indoor soccer facility has full amenities and includes one full regulation size soccer field, and a 4 metre wide x 400 metre running track. The building features specialty imported soccer specific lighting, artificial turf, geothermal heating system, roof insulation (inside fabric liner) and insulation on both metal end walls.

Building Size: 144’ x 205’ Texan Series (Low Profile – 40’ High)

Why Pavilion: Pavilion was chosen over the competition due to the high quality sports and recreation facilities Pavilion offers. No other competitor is able to offer the same strength and the same pounds of steel provided in a fabric building. The Penticton soccer association wanted the assurance that their players were playing in the safest facility on the market and safety has always been Pavilion #1 concern and is the cornerstone of Pavilion’s mission. This Adidas Pavilion structure exceeded the Penticton Soccer Associations expectations and is designed to exceed the code requirements for the area.

Lake Tobias – Wildlife Park

[View with Pop-up Gallery]

Project Info: Located at the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Lake Tobias, PA, USA. Pavilion project consists of two custom designed and engineered buildings for a zoo exhibit expansion at the park.

Building Sizes: 64’ x 80’ and 74’ x 105’ Custom Designed Round Ended Buildings

Why Pavilion: Pavilion was chosen due to our ability to adapt our structures to the needs of the customer. We were the only supplier that was able and willing to customize to provide Lake Tobias Wildlife Park with the buildings that met their specifications. These buildings were not like any structure Pavilion had built previously as the majority of the SpiderWeave™ material was removed and replaced with a security mesh/wire. There was only a small amount of SpiderWeave™ material used for providing shade coverage for the animals, as the building had to be open for viewing from all sides. Careful consideration had to be taken with adapting the structure for the fitting of the security mesh/wire and Pavilion had to design a custom attachment for seamlessly connecting the mesh/wire to the SpiderWeave™ material.

Marine Boat Storage

Maple Bay Marina

[View with Pop-up Gallery]

Project Info: Located in Maple Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Directly situated on the Pacific Ocean. Used to house yachts ranging from $5 to $10 million. Canadian waters are some of the safest waters in the world and are a secure place for storing expensive vessels as theft from piracy is minimized.

Building sizes: 22 buildings. Size 30’, 36’ and 38’ wide ranging from 60’ to 100’ long. Texan Marine Series

Why Pavilion: When Pavilion was approached to build these custom floating buildings Maple Bay Marina was not satisfied with the solutions other suppliers were able to provide. Pavilion custom engineered these building to the customer’s specifications, focusing on the needs of the end users. With the assistance of the customer Pavilion was able to design a floating fabric building that is unmatched in the industry.

One of the reasons that Pavilion fabric buildings are the paramount choice for this application is in the unfortunate event of a fire, the polyethylene roof material is designed to melt and allow the heat to dissipate through the roof. The buildings walls are metal and the fire will be controlled not spread to neighboring buildings. This design protects the surrounding vessels and makes the fabric structure solution invaluable.

Marine Building design specifics: Floats are site specifically designed and engineered to carry the weight of the building and are designed to float 18” above water with the weight of building. Each yacht enclosure has a special design to allow for full ventilation to reduce condensation within the building. Fabric roll up doors are installed, engineered and manufactured specifically for each application. There is a mechanical and parts room in the building. Mezzanine with office space is optional feature that can be added to any building. Pavilion designs all marine boat shelters to meet the International Building and Fire Code.

Why Pavilion: International Marine Floatation came to Pavilion for their expertise in the marine boat storage industry. IMF required a custom engineered structure to house a customer’s yacht. Pavilion’s engineering department worked closely with IMF to custom design the building on IMF’s Concrete floats.
