Overview
- The century-old venue hosts its final scheduled hockey game Saturday as Northeastern prepares to take the building down.
- The replacement plan details a multipurpose athletic facility overlapping the current footprint and adjacent lots with reduced permanent seating.
- Men’s and women’s hockey will relocate for roughly two and a half years, with games set at BU’s Walter Brown Arena, Harvard’s Bright-Landry Center, and UMass Lowell’s Tsongas Center.
- Practice operations shift to the Boch Ice Center in Dedham, where Northeastern is building dedicated locker rooms for both teams.
- Aging infrastructure and previously reported soil contamination, including asbestos and lead, have been cited among the factors driving the rebuild.
