<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Pagel Center Ice Arena <br />Minnetonka, Minnesota <br />,.f, <br />.~, <br />Size: 50,736 SF - $5.9 million <br />The Pagel Center opened behind Minnetonka High School in <br />September 2001.The Pagel Center is a public and private development <br />used by both the Youth Hockey Association and the High School <br />through fees. <br />The arena houses a single NHL sized (85 x 200) sheet of ice with 1,200 <br />retractable bleacher seats. The ground floor also houses the public <br />lobby, offices, public restrooms, and tickets and concession areas that <br />serve both inside for Hockey events, as well as outside, for football, <br />lacrosse, and soccer events. There is a second floor to Pagel with a <br />weights and conditioning room and suspended running track around <br />the rink. The high school uses these facilities during the school day <br />for their wellness and conditioning classes. Minnetonka residents also <br />have access to these facilities on a fee basis. <br />The facilitywas originally designed to be used as an indoor filed house <br />by the school district when the ice came out after the hockey season. <br />The seats would be rolled back, the dasher boards removed, and the <br />field house was ready for batting practice, indoor track practice, and <br />baseball try-outs. After the first year of operation it became apparent <br />that the demand for ice time was such that the ice would not come <br />out over the off season again. <br />*The project was designed by Architect Chuck Freiberg while in prior <br />association. <br />htg-architects.com <br />~ .~ ; ~_ • <br />~° a chitects <br /> <br /> <br />
