Ice Arena Wales
© Frances Gard
Ice Arena Wales is a new Olympic-standard ice arena in Cardiff's International Sports Village - home to Cardiff International Pool and Cardiff International White Water, both successful venues hosting national and international events. The IAW will be a dual pad facility with seating for 3,000 spectators and includes facilities for curling for the first time in South Wales.
The site was a former landfill site close to Cardiff Bay which required careful design and monitoring throughout the construction to avoid pollution entering the bay. The works included road alterations, a public realm area and car parking.
