Plans unveiled for major LaHaye Ice Center expansion

Liberty University’s LaHaye Ice Center, home to the men’s and women’s hockey and figure skating and synchronized skating teams, will undergo a major renovation, scheduled to start March 15.

Members of Liberty’s Club Sports department announced plans for the expansion of the current 45,000-square-foot facility during a special meeting on Thursday with various coaches and student-athletes.

The front and sides of the building will be expanded to allow for three-quarters bowl seating for 3,200 spectators — more than double the seats in the current facility. Plans call for 1,000 chairback seats, plus 10 overhead suites and standing-room-only areas around the second-floor concourse.
