Building this 9,000sf skating rink and fountain in downtown Stamford had outsize community impact.  It was the eagerly anticipated centerpiece in owner Mill River Park Collaborative's ongoing development plan.  The team that built the facility included eight Connecticut builders, several proudly from the immediate area, with specialty contractors from Pennsylvania and Florida.  The project team's unified responses to considerable technical challenges displayed their determination to deliver a technically excellent project and meet the owner's high-profile community milestones.  Today the rink is a very popular Stamford destination and promises to remain so when it is transitioned to a fountain this spring.
