French & Parrello Associates (FPA) was retained by DMR Architects to perform structural and geotechnical engineering services for the East Brunswick Ice Arena. The facility was completed as a recreation complex designed to support community and competitive ice sports. Spanning approximately 84,000 square feet, the arena features two full-size ice rinks, locker rooms, concessions, retail and office spaces, storage areas, and spectator amenities.
FPA’s scope of work included the subsurface geotechnical investigation that provides the foundations design parameters, structural design of the foundations, slab-on-grade construction and ice rink coordination, and the building’s structural framing systems, as well as construction administration support throughout the project. Today, the completed facility serves as a premier destination for skating programs, hockey, figure skating, and community events in East Brunswick.
