Project context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The International School of Cambridge (ISOC), located within the Islamic Centre of Cambridge, aimed to develop a modern gymnasium capable of supporting high-level sports activities while preserving the comfort of classrooms located directly beneath the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project covered approximately 9,600 square feet and presented a unique challenge: delivering a high-performance sports surface while minimizing impact noise transmission to adjacent educational spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge and objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advantage Sport was tasked with designing a solution that combines athletic performance with effective acoustic control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Reduce noise transmission to classrooms below the gymnasium<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provide a durable, high-performance multisport surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensure comfort for intensive physical activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Create a distinctive and professional aesthetic<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Integrate custom logos reinforcing the school\u2019s identity
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The challenge was to develop a multilayer system capable of effectively attenuating impact noise without compromising play quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technical solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Advantage Sport implemented a solution combining multiple complementary systems. A sound-control underlayment made from recycled rubber was first installed to attenuate high-frequency impact noise and limit sound transmission to classrooms below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This substructure was then covered with a leveled plywood layer prepared to receive the final sports surface. Tarkett\u2019s Omnisports PurePlay flooring was subsequently installed using the GreenLay method, ensuring stability, durability, and athletic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The design features a Golden Maple court with a Night Blue perimeter, custom blue game lines, and two 10-foot logos, creating a distinctive and professional visual identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Results and benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The project delivered a high-performance gymnasium meeting both athletic and acoustic requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The benefits include : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Significant reduction of impact noise to classrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Comfortable and durable multisport surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Strong visual identity and modern aesthetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Long-term durability for intensive school use<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Compatibility with a multifunctional building environment
      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The installation enables sports activities without disrupting the learning environment in adjacent spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Service area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Advantage Sport provides indoor sports flooring installation and renovation services across Quebec,Ontario, and other Canadian provinces, serving schools and multifunctional educational facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
