Elk River Arena Addition <br />Elk River, Minnesota <br />w'k' -T. <br />Size: 42,880 - $5.3 million <br />The city of Elk River partnered with the Elk River Youth Hockey <br />Association and the Elk River School District to commission a design <br />to add a second sheet of ice to the city-owned existing arena, located <br />near Elk River High School. Two design features facing the designer <br />were: First, the original arena was apre-manufactured metal building <br />and the new arena was to be of precast insulated concrete panels. <br />Second, the new rink would have the first Olympic size (100'x 200') ice <br />sheet installed for a Minnesota high school hockey program. <br />A two-story connecting link was designed to connect the two arenas. <br />The link is designed to housetwo varsity locker rooms, fourYHA locker <br />rooms, storage, and the figure skaters warm up room. The locker <br />rooms on the ground floor are designed to serve both rinks.The upper <br />floor of the link acts as an observation deck into each of the arenas. <br />The design also expanded the lobby area, public restrooms, and the <br />concession areas. The new arena is a year-round facility. The new <br />arena has 2,000 seats, a concrete floor, and a suspended wal-king track <br />around the rink. <br />*The project was designed by Architect Chuck Freiberg while in prior <br />association. <br />.~- . <br />tr » ~~ . <br />'s> ~ ~ „a <br />~ r - _ <br />- -- a <br />'r'- <br />-~~ <br />-_ - ~~- °. <br /><< <br />cs ~~ <br />~'~- - ~ I~ <br />~ ~~ <br />,~ _ ,~. „~ <br />.==~a.r~ _ -_. <br />_ _ d <br />-, ~, >, <br />-" - .-- - - . - ~, ~ ~. t ., <br />- y, # <br />1~ ~~~ <br />--,_s <br />'~ . <br />C] <br />htg-architects.com <br />architects ~,. <br />- -- . - - _- <br />-s ~-i, <br />'~ <br />~ '~ <br />• <br />f -~~ <br />~_ <br />'I -- - - <br />,~, - <br />~I , <br />
