NMH Ice Rink
Northfield Mount Hermon tasked Studio Troika with designing a new ice hockey rink that would solve functional needs of their program, and operate as a launching point into their future athletic campus. The building draws importance on a few distinct elements: site and orientation, spectator vs. player circulation, and future campus planning. The rink is oriented to take advantage of a sloping site, to capture northern light, and to create a gateway for future development.
A new home for hockey.
The facade is accented by a natural cedar that takes inspiration from it’s woodland surroundings while acting a visual way-finding element.
Once on the interior, the visitor experience begins as you move up through the two story volume to the mezzanine. You are immediately greeted with an expanse of glazing that looks back to the center of the NMH campus. The mezzanine itself provides seating for 300 and offers room for future program expansion as the needs grow. The player experience is reserved exclusively on the first floor, where the design team put focus on function and efficiency to ensure the space was specifically suited to their needs.
