Kettler Capitals Iceplex: Arlington, Virginia

In any event, 145,000 square foot Kettler Capitals Iceplex, which opened last November, offers two NHL-size ice rinks and offices and a training and conditioning center for the Capitals, who lease the $42 million facility from Arlington County. Built on top of an existing seven-story parking garage in Arlington, the complex was designed to a LEED Certified level but never registered with USGBC in order to pursue the rating. The roof of the structure is a white EPDM membrane, the building incorporates a variety of recycled materials, including rubber skate tile and carpet backing, and natural light penetrates into a full ninety percent of spaces that are regularly occupied within the interior. The project, which appears among eco-structure magazine’s “Innovative Green Projects” feature in its July/August 2007 issue, was designed by Architecture, Inc. of Reston, Virginia with general contractor Sigal Construction Corp. of Arlington.
