About
Tedesco Construction Services built a Varco Pruden metal building for the Cornerstone Ice Arena in Lockport, NY. Built in 2015, the 95,000 square foot facility has two NHL-sized ice rinks, seating for 650 spectators, and an elite training center. All are ADA-compliant and special-needs friendly.
The Cornerstone Ice Arena used a metal building system, a metal roof, and metal wall panels. Tedesco Construction Services installed over 58,000 square feet of Varco Pruden’s Standing Seam Roofing System. It also installed over 15,000 square feet of its Vee Rib Wall System. To match the new arena, the metal roof and wall panels were also installed on a conventional building adjacent to it. Tedesco Construction Services faced a unique challenge. The arena was built into a bedrock shelf. So, it had to work with a local fabricator to cut the steel columns on site instead of busting out the bedrock.
