 About
the AgriDome Facility
With
its unique structure, the AgriDome provides an inside
venue with an 'outdoor feel'. The domed roof is constructed
of steel and is covered by a light-porous fabric,
manufactured right here in Truro. This unique roof provides a good proportion of natural light even on
the darkest days. The concrete floor is easy to
clean and allows for every kind of use from food kiosks
to flea market booths, from banquets to animal stalls.
For sporting events, high quality
artificial turf is
available for a low maintenance but responsive playing
surface. Just image indoor soccer, all winter
long!
The unique
roof covering keeps the building warmer in winter, yet
cooler in summer, and the
120' x 266'
open space is heated by over 6 miles of in-floor radiant
heating as well as overhead radiant heaters. With
31,900 square feet of space, the building
can easily adapt to all kinds of needs & events, and is
conveniently situated next to various other facilities
within the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Grounds,
including practice ring, arenas, barns and canteen
facilities.
Using natural light
during the day keeps operation costs down, while at
night the suspended lighting system ensures safety;
acoustics in the Dome are also exceptional.
In the attached Service
Building, a ground level foyer
with public washrooms provides a controlled entry
area for ticket taking at your event, while upstairs a
kitchen and more washrooms adjoin a large, comfortable
lounge with
panoramic viewing of your event below, and a
public address system
is available upon arrangement. Showers, change
areas, canteen, storage & meeting rooms are all located
in this building, plus plenty of
parking space is
provided directly adjacent to the AgriDome, with
multiple entrances for easier loading and offloading of
animals, vehicles and products.
The AgriDome is available
for daily or even hourly rent; its adaptability is
limited only by your imagination! Contact the AgriDome Manager Grant Milley at 902 895-4824, or
