PrimeWest Health Runestone Community Center Expansion

JLG Architects completed an initial feasibility study for the City of Alexandria, identifying the critical need for additional ice, flat floor space, and arena support space to create a more multi-purpose venue in the west central Minnesota region. The City later hired 292 Design/JLG Architects to fully design and execute the project. With a lengthy and tedious funding process, the design team developed a phased approach to construction to align the City’s funding with different scopes of the project, allowing the City to proceed with an impactful construction project. Phases 1 and 2 will provide significant renovations to outdated support spaces and a new entry, lobby, and circulation concourse. The Phase 1 and 2 design are setting up for a smooth integration of the Phase 3 ice sheet and expanded parking when the funding becomes available.
