Mission Statement:
HPR Integrated Design combines innovative, cutting edge concepts with a
collaborative multi-disciplinary approach through the utilization of state-of-the-art
BIM technologies to exceed owner expectations both in system efficiencies and the
enrichment of the human experience within its aesthetic.

2. Agenda BIM Uses
HPR Integrated Design’s Project Touchstones for the
Penn State Ice Arena
Improve the Game Day experience for both the fans and players
Create an environment that fosters hockey excellence
Minimize the amount of energy the facility consumes
Create an architecturally recognizable facility
Maximize value with minimizing cost
Earn a LEED Gold rating
MILESTONES Required by Contract
Used for this Stage of design

5. Redesign Focuses

6. Approach
Air Handler Relocation Club Level
and Event Level Redesign
REASON: -Reduce duct size and length
-Reduce fan energy and use smaller air handling units
-Limit the number of shafts and there sizes. Concourse Level

9. Approach
Roof Profile Redesign
REASON: -Maximize the efficiency of the structural system to reduce cost
-Integrate the mechanical, lighting, and catwalk systems to optimize the
performance of each
-Create a clean and attractive ceiling area

11. Enhance student entrance
Create a prominent entrance (Globe) Approach
Façade Redesign
REASON: We believe we can maintain the original intent of the east façade
(to create an impressive view from University Drive as well as a view out to Mt.
Nittany and the Bryce Jordan Center) while enhancing the prominence of the
entrances as well as reducing thermal loads and cost.
