Entertainment for all.

Formerly known as the Rogers K-Rock and Kingston Regional Sports & Entertainment Centre, the Leon’s Centre project is now a multi-purpose venue that was constructed in 2008.

With the ability to convert from a concert space to an ice rink, this facility has the potential to host hockey games, music performances, and more. There is space for up to 6,800 seats for concerts (with the ability to expand to an additional 1,000 seats) as well as a 5,600-seat spectator venue for the rink. The design accommodates twenty-eight private suites, a club lounge, a restaurant that is open to the spectator bowl, and group hospitality suites that double as community meeting rooms. Additionally, the street-level concourse incorporates the Kingston and District Sports Hall of Fame exhibit retail space, and a sports café, all with interior and street access.

The design incorporates environmental and energy saving features, which contributed to the project attaining LEED Silver certification. In 2008, the project also won a Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) Green Building Award of Excellence.

Smith + Andersen was the mechanical compliance engineer for this centre.
