Cohen Ice Rink & Fountain / Whittingham Discovery Center

This open-air ice rink, fountain and park building complex will be located at the heart of 28-acre Mill River Park in the city of Stamford, Connecticut, at the lower reaches of the Rippowam River. 

Our aim was to deliver form, function, and fun.  We focused on providing an exciting place that would maximize the revenue required to maintain the park.  Simultaneously, we sought to lower the operating costs by optimizing the symbiosis of various heating and cooling systems.  

The outdoor ice skating center will bring back the traditions of skating on Mill Pond that once existed in Stamford.  The interactive fountain with multiple programs will enliven the core of the park during warm months, delighting visitors of all ages.

The project is targeted to start construction in spring of 2016 and open for the winter skating season of 2017.
