Metro Ice Sports Facility

To better serve the youth of Des Moines and surrounding communities, the Metro Ice Sports Facility in Urbandale, Iowa, has been enhanced with the addition of a second ice rink more locker rooms, spectator seating for 100, and concessions, in effect doubling the size of the facility. With the completion of this project in 2000 the expanded facility now has “twice the ice”. The addition of a second rink required the re-configuration of existing refrigeration equipment to provide a superior system that will control both rinks. Another challenge was designing a demising wall that protects each rink area in the event of a fire.
