Text description provided by architect.
Rogers Place and the ICE District meld an iconic architectural design and new development with Edmonton’s well-established commercial and residential neighborhoods.
The arena and district represent a significant reinvestment in the city fabric by the Oilers Entertainment Group. One of the primary project challenges was connecting the arena to the ICE District and Edmonton’s downtown
The design and planning team proposed extending the arena’s footprint over the main thoroughfare—104 Avenue—to connect the two parcels of land identified for development.
The curvilinear covered extension creates bold connectivity, a physical presence and a distinctive brand identity that reinforces the street grid and activates Rogers Place and the ICE District year-round.
The pliable, unpainted stainless-steel cladding provides a dynamic and sleek backdrop for the events happening inside.
The ICE District is in the process of becoming a lively mixed-use development spanning 25 acres.
The district includes a community rink, private development, office development, residential units and parking spaces, as well as a connection to an existing light-rail system.
Seating options include 3,100 club seats, 900 PCL Loge seats, 500 drink rail seats, 300 ozone club seats, 57 Scotiabank executive suites, 24 theater boxes, three clubs, two club lounges and Curve, a full-service restaurant.
The arena features the NHL’s largest high-definition scoreboard, at 46-by-46 feet, as well as more than 1,200 HDTVs. The arena design creates a premium experience for every guest.
