<br />White Bear Lake Arena <br />White Bear Lake, Minnesota <br />~,, <br />.~~ .~. <br />Design Only <br />Several Concept Design packages have been done for adding new ice <br />arenas in White Bear Lake. The YH Board needed marketing tools to <br />proceed with obtaining the Association's approval for a new facility to <br />fill the gap in ice time. This Concept package provided contractors the <br />tools needed to develop preliminary pricing to prepare a business plan <br />to present to the Cityfor consideration of the issuance of performance <br />bonds. <br />The Arena's program statement consisted of two NHL sized ice sheets, <br />one with 1,200 permanent seats, the other with 600 retractable seats. <br />Under the permanent seats and second floor concourse there were <br />two High School varsity locker rooms, and eight youth hockey locker <br />rooms. <br />Over the course of three years, two other Concept Design packages <br />were prepared for theYouth Hockey Association, one to add a sheet of <br />ice to the current White Bear Lake Arena, and a second to add a second <br />sheet to one of the existing county rinks. Neither of these options was <br />adopted. <br />Fortunately, HTG Architects was selected to be the Architect of record <br />in the design and construction of the new two-sheet facility in Vadnais <br />Heights, MN of which the WBLYHA is major component. <br />*The projects mentioned other than Vadnais Heights were designed <br />by Architect Chuck Freiberg while in prior association. <br />htg-architects.com <br />architects <br />I~ <br /> <br />
