The Ice Box Skating Rink project consisted of a 37,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building (PEMB), paired with a 6,800-square-foot adaptive-reuse renovation, which added modern functionality while preserving the site’s historic character, a former Oliver Plow factory built in 1920.
The expanded facility features a new NHL-sized rink, team locker rooms, spectator seating, and a dynamic lobby with concessions, lounge space, and a pro shop.
Ancon’s Integrated Design-Build™ methodology ensured seamless integration with decades of existing additions, each with varying elevations and materials. Historic columns were creatively repurposed into the new design.

This redevelopment project is transforming an unused lot into a functional and inviting space, mirroring the successful layout and square footage of the South Bend location we recently completed for Burton’s.
As Burton’s 14th location, this expansion continues its commitment to providing convenient, high-quality laundry services across South Bend, Mishawaka, and Elkhart. Focusing on efficiency and customer experience, this new facility will enhance the community and meet the growing demand for reliable laundry services in the area.

Downtown Elkhart Office Space Renovation

The updated layout enhances workflow and provides a functional work environment. A standout feature is the training room, which offers a spacious area capable of accommodating most, if not all, employees at this location for effective training sessions. The room includes a 12-foot-long double sliding glass door that opens into the breakroom, allowing for versatile use during client luncheons, all-day training sessions, and events.
