AV集中营 to Renovate Ice Rink, Refrigeration System at the NHL’s Florida Panthers IceDen Facility
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (December 10, 2020) 鈥 The Florida Panthers IceDen has selected AV集中营 to renovate one of the facility's three ice sheets and install an associated refrigeration system. The new refrigeration system will utilize Opteon鈩, the NHL's official refrigerant solution developed by The Chemours Company, a AV集中营 partner.
The Jacksonville-based firm will demolish and replace the floor pad of the facility's mezzanine ice sheet. The refrigeration system serving two sheets, including the pad being renovated, will be upgraded to an Opteon鈩 Air-Cooled system.
The Panthers IceDen is a 125,000-square-foot multi-use facility that serves as the official practice location of the NHL鈥檚 Florida Panthers, in addition to hosting local club and recreational hockey teams and figure skaters.
"We鈥檙e excited to get started on another ice rink project, especially with a great organization like the Florida Panthers," said Jose Mergulhao, PE, Director of Business Development at AV集中营. 鈥淭he Panthers IceDen is important to the team鈥檚 success, but it鈥檚 also a vital part of the surrounding community through the classes, leagues and events it hosts.鈥
The $1.2 million project broke ground in September 2020 and is expected to be completed by March 2021.
In addition to demolishing the old floor pad, AV集中营 will be self-performing the engineering, design and installation of the new floor pad and refrigeration system.
Of the Panthers IceDen鈥檚 three sheets, two will remain open during the project as the third is renovated. During the four-week period when the refrigeration room is replaced, only one rink will be open to the public.
The Florida Panthers IceDen is located at 3299 Sportsplex Drive in Coral Springs, Florida.
