For Immediate Release
L.F. Jennings began construction at the ION International Training Center in July 2018.
Developed by The Peterson Companies and located in their Compass Creek Development, the facility will be operated by the ION International Training Centers Group headed by Luiz Taifas and Mitra Satayesh. Luis Taifas, a former Romanian Olympic figure skater, and his wife Mitra conceived this project to provide a top of the line facility capable of providing both a high level ice skating/hockey and figure skating training facility and a competition venue.
In addition to private programs, the ION Training Center will also support team activities and tournaments for local schools and clubs who offer ice sports programs but lack the facilities to fully support them.
When complete, the 90,000 SF facility, designed by Clockwork Architecture + Design, will feature 2-NHL regulation size rinks, seating for up to 5,500 spectators, a full-service gym, a restaurant, and a pro shop. The rinks can also be converted into multi-functioning dry-floor surfaces that could host events such as martial arts tournaments, equestrian events, concerts, conventions, and graduations.
The facility is slated to open in the Spring of 2019.
