Benton H. Wilcoxon Municipal Iceplex | Dual Ice Training Facility
Date Completed: 1989
Project Cost: $2,800,000
The Benton H. Wilcoxon Municipal Iceplex is a showcase for Huntsville’s ice skating talent. It is a first and one-of-a-kind facility that attracts attention from around the country. The Milberger Architectural Group, in collaboration with FRIA and Huntsville, designed a facility that serves as both an ice skating and a convention center. The project had a very tight budget but was designed at $43.00 per square foot , almost half the national average for this type of facility. The Milberger Architectural Group used its research skills and developed a facility that will last well into the future, despite many abuses and harsh conditions. The unique design of the facility allowed for minimal staffing, ensuring the city stayed profitable.
