U of M Combines Hockey, Tennis Facilities

MINNEAPOLIS-Combining facilities made sense with the closing of 18th Avenue Southeast. The architect for the 160,000-sf project is St. Paul-based Ankeny Kell Architects, and the general contractor is Shaw-Lundquist.

MINNEAPOLIS-The University of Minnesota has decided that because both its women’s hockey program and its men’s and women’s tennis programs needed new facilities, thetwo needs could be combined into one building with a common public area. The architect for this project is Ankeny Kell Architects, P.A., located in St. Paul, MN, while Shaw-Lundquist is the general contractor.

Construction began last year. It is expected to be ready for occupancy in September.

The Board of Regents recently voted to name the hockey part of the project “The Ridder Arena.”
