About the Plymouth State University Welcome Center and Ice Arena
The first phase of Plymouth State University’s ALLWell Center is the construction of an ice arena. The Ice Arena will serve as a teaching facility for instruction and research in ice activities, a home for Panther varsity men’s and women’s ice hockey teams, and a site for student recreation as well as community skating. The new arena will seat 850 spectators.
The Ice Arena will also feature a Welcome Center with an expansive lobby and facilities that will provide an attractive meeting place for prospective students, parents, and visitors to the campus and towns of Plymouth and Holderness and the wider region.
