ARCO Construction Co. Inc. Transforming Unused Warehouse Space To Accommodate 20 Percent Growth of Venerable Youth Ice Hockey Club
ST. L
OUIS, MO – With industrial vacancies still high, St. Louis, Mo.-based ARCO Construction Company, Inc. has developed a creative way to fill warehouse space – convert part of it into an ice hockey rink. ARCO is advancing a $1.5 million design/build renovation to create a new home in South St. Louis County for the venerable Meramec Sharks Hockey Club – one of the largest youth ice hockey clubs in St. Louis. ARCO is converting 30,632 square feet of vacant warehouse space to create the FSI Shark Tank. The move primes the club for a projected 20 percent expansion in 2010. The rink will also permanently house the Lutheran South and Illinois Frontenac Junior B hockey clubs. Work is slated for completion this June – in time for the 2010 fall hockey season.
