Huge Arena — Monolithic’s plans for an arena with a 9,000 seat capacity can include shops and services. A small dome can contain the Zamboni and ice plant for the practice rinks.

Monolithic Multi-Rink Arena — In a Monolithic Dome arena, energy use is reduced by more than 50 percent. This saves money in construction since less heating and cooling equipment is needed, and it saves millions in operating costs over the life of the structure.

Hersheypark Arena — Thomas C. Stephens, Director of Operations for the Arena wrote this letter of recommendation based on his experience with the oldest thin-shell, concrete stadium in the country: “When Hersheypark Arena was constructed in 1936, it was considered to be one of the finest buildings of its time. Now, 60 years later, it has withstood the test of time. The Arena is an oval shaped, monolithic, reinforced concrete structure that will last into the future. Hersheypark Arena, with seating for 7,350 has been home to hockey since its construction. This unique structure has hosted many events over the years, with one outstanding feature – not a bad seat in the house. “The idea of a Monolithic Dome ice facility . has improved the design concept. Water penetration into our concrete and expansion joints is our biggest concern in building maintenance. Those problems do not exist with this design. Anyone looking to build an ice arena should be impressed with the design, energy conservation, safety, and the unique openness of these structures. Once constructed, you can count on having a great facility for many years to come.” Sincerely, Thomas C. Stephens
