predict how speakers would respond to gravity and the elements
when suspended from aircraft cable in various rigging configurations.
“We were given some pretty specific rigging points,” he con-
tinues, “which is a challenge as we don’t have the flexibility to move
them about to suit our ideal positions and angles.”
This was another area where Su and his team were able to apply
some expertise. The entire project was designed in Revit BIM software,
and Smith + Andersen has a skilled Revit team in house. “There’s a lot
of information that goes into these models,” he begins. “The challenge
is only extracting the information you need for a particular task. For
example, one of the tasks we took on was extracting the roof steel out
of the software and then aligning that with EASE [acoustic simulation
software] to calculate placement. So one of the interesting challenges
was bringing together the physical design from BIM and the computer
designs created in EASE and then figuring out where the speakers
should go and how they should be aimed.”
Once again, good communication and detailed collaboration
were critical to the project’s success.
While the Roughriders’ first game at Mosaic Stadium will be a pre-sea-
son showdown with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on June 10 th , the
venue has played host to some post-secondary football matches in
anticipation of the upcoming CFL season, along with a few other public
events dating back to the fall of 2016.
“The comments from the ownership group and various interest
groups were very positive,” Bernatsky shares. “That was a good ini-
tial litmus test and the project would get an A grade on our part,
though we’re looking forward to working through the first few Rid-
ers games with the full house to tweak it and get it optimized.”
Advance Pro was working in parallel with the main system con-
tract to also outfit the facility with over 350 digital signage displays as
well as its broadcast cable infrastructure, and just recently completed
work on the Broadcast Replay Control Room – “which was equally as
complex and challenging in its own right,” Bernatsky notes.

Weighing in with final thoughts, Su is quick to praise the work
of HKS and B+H on the initial design. “They had a great vision for this
space,” he says. “It’s really a beautiful facility.”
Bernatsky adds some kind words for the team at PCL and elec-
trical contractor Alliance Energy. “From an integrator’s point of view,
working with PCL was a real pleasure,” he says. “In terms of the physi-
cal execution, they were very accommodating, good with scheduling,
and good with supporting us and our requirements. Great company
to work with.”
As for Alliance, “They were very well structured and organized.
They did the cable pathways and pulled cables for us, so an honour-
able mention there because we appreciate that level of local coordi-
nation and support and they were exceptionally good to work with.”
Su also recognizes the City of Regina and the other stakeholders
for allocating the proper resources to the project, considering the im-
portance of football in the province and all that this venue represents.
Indeed, one of the most passionate fan bases in pro sports and
the team they support deserve a good home, though Su under-
stands the importance of the project to the city and province as a
whole. “It’s a very high-profile project, and there are a lot of different
stakeholders – the city, architects, and engineers and contractors
with different jobs. It’s a lot of late nights and sometimes tense dis-
cussions, but for me, personally, I’ve always taken the view that these
projects are really important. This is a part of a bigger revitalization of
Regina in general and is very important to the community.
“As long as you keep that in perspective,” he adds, “the late
nights and revisions are all worth it, and working with PCL and Ad-
vance Pro, I think we’ve all taken that view. That’s part of why the
project has been so successful. The stadium is the focal point of pro-
fessional sports in a die-hard market, and this building is one to be
proud of.”
