"Thrilled to share that we are finalists at this year's World Architecture Festival, the largest global live awards event for architects and designers.

Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre, soon-to-be Edmonton's brand new velodrome, creates a venue for elite athletic performance and community recreation in one world-class facility. Community spaces, including an indoor public plaza and urban basketball court, are positioned at the heart of the facility, with the cycle track elevated a full storey above ground level. Visitors can gather, socialize, and play while cyclists race overhead at speeds of up to 80km/h.

We'll be presenting Coronation at the festival in Singapore this fall. Hope to see you there! hashtag#WAF24

Designed in joint venture with Dub Architects and in collaboration with FaulknerBrowns."

I think it can?

There are only 2 Category One facilities in North America - LA and Milton, Ontario - apparently certain supporting facilities are required for a category one facility (maybe to be host for world championships?).
 
A big one is seating capacity. But I think the low floor in the training area could be another. Have friends that ride track so will differ to them. But it will be nice to have our national teamers train at home again.
 
I love multi-million dollar facilities, but how will this be used in a way to develop, train, compete at etc. National training centre? How much economic impact potential?

I have yet to really see that aspect of this.

national Training centre will Stay in Milton for cycling. as for triathlon. I believe this is planning to be the training centre. However we have a good history of track athletes from YEG. If you go to the current track you can see a list of our World and Olympic Champions. this would mean that they could stay home and train. We have some incredible coach's here so I would expect a few people come here to live and train. As for the major events. That would be open. UCI will give it some status but its up to the community to drive for those events. It Do The North gets involved they may drive a few.
