Location: Olds, Alberta
Building size: 125’ x 228’ – 80’ x 380’
Application: riding arena and trade fair
Owner: Olds Agricultural Society
Olds Agricultural Society (OAS), owner of impressive agricultural facilities in Olds, Alberta, recently added a project of 3 MegaDome® buildings to their current installations that were completed in 2007. On their 60 acres land named Olds Agricultural Society Fairgrounds, they added a 125’ wide by 228’ long MegaDome® used primarily as an equine riding arena, a second 80’ wide by 380’ long MegaDome® used for equine stabling. In keeping with OAS’ commitment to multifunctioning facilities, these MegaDome® structures will also be utilized for livestock sales and commercial events such as trade shows. The third MegaDome® structure connects the first two together and serves as a home for mechanical services and washrooms as well.
In business since 1899, this centennial organization strives to promote the agricultural role in their community. Their goals are to encourage improvements of agriculture in their community, organize agricultural activities and other related events and identify the needs of their rural area in order to be customer oriented in delivering partnerships and support to their peers.
MegaDome® helped OAS achieve their goals by providing them with structures that were excellent venues for agriculture based activities that supplied great lightning, so the need for artificial lightning was considerably reduced. Wanting to create a thoroughbred training facility, the MegaDome® was a cost effective solution compared to the regular riding arenas. Time wise, the construction of the buildings was very satisfying to the buyers, allowing them to seize rapidly the opportunities offered by the equine industry.
MegaDome® manufactures cost effective membrane steel structures that are renowned for their strength, quality and versatility. Proud partner of the Olds Agricultural society, MegaDome® wishes them success for at least another 100 years to come!
