St. Louis, MO — S. M. Wilson & Co. is excited to partner with the City of Webster Groves and Chiodini Architects on this design/build project to renovate the Webster Ice Arena.
The residents of Webster Groves approved funds through Prop W to create new amenities and make necessary repairs to existing facilities. The arena renovations include replacing the original ice sheet and refrigeration equipment. Demolition work is currently underway. The project is expected to be completed by late summer. S. M. Wilson and Chiodini Architects are collaborating with B32 Engineering.
“The Webster Groves Ice Arena is an important part of the community and a valuable resource. These funds allowed us to partner with S. M. Wilson, along with Chiodini Architects and B-32 Engineering, to make needed repairs to our aging facility,” commented Joe Mendica, the city’s Facility Superintendent. “Their combined experience in the Ice rink industry gives us confidence that we will end up with an updated facility that the community will enjoy for years to come.”
S. M. Wilson and Chiodini have previously collaborated on similar projects, including the R. P. Lumber Center in Edwardsville, IL, and the Brentwood Ice Rink in Brentwood, MO.
“We’re excited to partner with S. M. Wilson on the Webster Ice Arena renovation. Their expertise in construction, paired with our design vision, will ensure a revitalized facility that serves the community for years to come,” commented Michael Chiodini, President of Chiodini Architects.
S. M. Wilson’s Project Manager, Andrew Ahlers, commented, “Our team is excited about this project. Our company remains committed to building strong relationships and going Beyond the Build.”
