THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Bloomington is delivering a $37.2 million modernization of the Bloomington Ice Garden, funded by a DEED grant and local option sales tax. JLG Architects is handling design/engineering and RJM Construction is managing construction, with work in final punch list, electrical, HVAC balancing, and commissioning stages. This establishes clear incumbents for arena systems, building systems, and sustainability features and signals future needs for maintenance, expansion, event programming, and potential EV charging and solar implementation once dates and budgets are set.
Sustainability scope includes roof replacement, insulation, ammonia-based ice system, new HVAC, LED lighting, windows/doors, EV-charger-ready infrastructure, native plantings, and future solar. Facility now offers major spectator capacity and 8,000 sq ft of rentable space.
