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.

Ancon Construction was honored to partner with
YMCA Camp Eberhart to breathe new life into Dave’s House, just steps from Corey Lake. Built in 1932 as a memorial to camper David Warner Jr., this beloved wooden structure has been a space for connection and learning for generations. Our team helped preserve the building’s historic legacy by making essential repairs, updating the structure, and adding heating so it can be used year-round. We were proud to be part of this project that blends the past with the future, keeping the spirit of camp alive for decades to come.
