The City National Arena, the home of the National Hockey League’s Vegas Golden Knights, holds two NHL-sized ice sheets, which are available public use. The facility also provides the Golden Knights’ front office with a home base and the region’s adult, youth hockey and figure skating with a regional hub. It is equipped with team locker rooms and offices, sports medicine facilities equipment room, video room, player lounge, coaches’ offices, restaurant and bar, team store, skate rental and snack bar.
The contractor, architect and engineers worked together with the owner’s interest as top priority. Numerous design challenges attributed to changes in budget, schedule, program and site location. Several test fits were completed for different sites. The finalized site location required more restrictive architectural design standards and a unique design solution. The building was flipped and the exterior modified to meet the standards of the governing agency. A thermal energy plant uses up to 100 percent of waste heat from the refrigeration system and transfers it to the mechanical equipment. The system is 100 percent free of greenhouse gas emissions. It eliminated rooftop equipment, other than any kitchen exhaust requirements.
