Ever-increasing public demand for ice time led the Morris County Parks Commission to hire Bonestroo to design a third ice sheet addition. In addition to the new facility design work, Bonestroo’s contract scope included an energy study of the facility’s rink refrigeration, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Bonestroo’s energy study found that the existing facilities were consuming electricity at double the expected rate of similar facilities and recommended a staged approach to corrections.

The addition complements the appearance of the existing brick-faced facilities, while incorporating innovations such as translucent wall panels to provide natural light, durable, and moisture resistant precast concrete structure, and a low-emissivity ceiling covering.
