Closed

The Project consists of the replacement of a 50-year old ice arena beyond its useful life with a high-efficiency, energy-integrated wellness centre. The Project scope includes detailed designs for and construction of the following components: - 84m x 50m (approx.) steel superstructure with steel cladding; - Olympic-sized ice surface (61m x 30.5m); - integrated thermal ice plant design for the slab, refrigeration, dehumidification, heating, ventilation and general air conditioning, including frictionless-compressor technology, an integrated dehumidifier with full energy recycling, full system heat recovery, an ultralow water-consumption fluid cooler, and integrated open-source direct digital controls with remote access and diagnostics; - ice sheet with dimming LED lighting system and boards and glass system incorporating the latest safety features; - six dressing rooms, a Zamboni storage room, an upper level viewing balcony, a referee’s room, office space, three 15’ x 10’ offices, a 30’ x 50’ activity room, a 30’ x 10’ boardroom, a skate sharpening room, a sound room, a first aid room, an elevator, various-sized storage rooms, a hospitality room with ice viewing and kitchen; - fully accessible washrooms with low-consumption fixtures; - fully accessible concession area; - fitness centre with locker rooms, storage room and washrooms; - 180m walking track; and, - paving of a 35m x 75m parking lot. The Project also includes the purchase of an electric Zamboni for maintaining the ice surface. The reconstructed facility will be in compliance with the National Hockey League Green framework and will meet Natural Resource Canada’s ENERGY STAR certification. Additionally, the facility will be equipped with infrastructure to access residual heat from the refrigeration process and reduce operating costs during colder seasons for another potential building, should an adjacent building be added to the site in the future.
