`~• ', <br />\_.. <br />Plymouth Ice Center <br />Plymouth, Minnesota 292 <br />Design Group <br />Completed in Fall 2004, the Plymouth Ice Center project added <br />a third NHL-size ice sheet to the existing ice arena. The addition <br />includes seating for 492 spectators, team rooms, support spaces, <br />and a cafe/lounge. The project also included a complete re-design <br />of the main entry and concessions area. The design incorporated <br />"green building materials" for increased energy efficiency and ap- <br />plied avariety of methods to reduce energy usage. Those meth- <br />ods included a thermally efficient roof system, green tinted exterior <br />glass to capitalize on solar gain in the winter, and recycled building <br />materials. <br />Our staff worked with the City of Plymouth to create a new identity <br />for the facility that serves 40 youth hockey teams, adult hockey <br />and figure skating clubs, and area schools. Accomplishing the goal <br />as the area's finest ice facility, the arena's community appeal was <br />enhanced with the addition of an Internet cafe and lounge with <br />wireless access points. <br />The existing building remained open for use during the entire de- <br />sign and construction process. <br />OWNER CONTACT: <br />Eric Blank <br />Park and Recreation Director <br />City of Plymouth <br />3400 Plymouth Boulevard <br />Plymouth, MN 55442 <br />763.509.5201 <br />GROSS AREA <br />41,000 s.f. <br />CONSTRUCTION COST <br />$4,200,000 <br />COMPLETION <br />November 2004 <br />
