As the 2014-2015 NHL season kicked off this week, hockey enthusiasts in the Michigan area have one more reason to be happy. Michigan State University (MSU) announced renovation plans for its ice hockey arena in East Lansing.<\/p>\n

Munn Ice Arena renovation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“As Munn Ice Arena approaches its 40th anniversary, we’re excited to announce the upcoming improvements that will significantly enhance both the fan and student-athlete experience immediately,” said MSU Director of Athletics Mark Hollis in a statement introducing the year-long renovations. \u201cOur goal is for Munn Ice Arena to represent a tribute to Michigan State\u2019s rich hockey past and a commitment to its future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Located at 509 Birch Road on MSU\u2019s campus, the Clarence l. Munn Ice Arena opened on September 25, 1974 as a $3.5 million replacement for the outdated Demonstration Hall which currently serves as a drill hall for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and rehearsal space and equipment storage for the university\u2019s marching band. The 6,470-seat Munn Ice Arena, which was designed by Grand Rapids-based Daverman Associates, has already undergone various improvements over the past two years. According to Spartan Athletics\u2019 official website<\/a>, from 2012 through August of this year MSU has invested over $6.5 million in the building\u2019s HVAC systems, ice sheet, dasher boards, sound system and LED lighting.<\/p>\n

The newly announced renovations over the upcoming year are the latest addition of a complete building renovation program which is funded privately through MSU athletics and donations. The list of upgrades includes: improved theatrical lighting; new high-definition video boards; LED ribbon boards; chairback seating; new concourse d\u00e9cor; dressing room d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Granger Construction of Lansing will likely continue to serve as MSU\u2019s contractor of choice for the upcoming renovations at the Munn Ice Arena.<\/p>\n
