The Class of 1965 Arena serves Colgate’s Division I athletics programs. The facility is home to men’s and women’s hockey teams, and includes 2,200-seat ice rink, locker rooms, weight training, athletic training, and offices. Also included are locker rooms for men’s and women’s lacrosse and soccer teams.
A modular heat pump system integrates ice refrigeration with building HVAC, where waste heat from ice refrigeration is captured and recycled for Zamboni snow melt, ice sheet sub-slab heat, domestic water preheat, and partial building heat. The modular heat pump system also operates to produce chilled water for building air conditioning, including during the summer ice-out period when excess heat pump capacity provides chilled water for arena space air conditioning.
