Dual rink ice arena. Features hockey games and public skating.
The KSU Ice Arena is a one-rink ice complex located on the campus of Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, United States. The building contains one ice rink with seating for 1,500 fans that is used for ice hockey and figure skating. The rink is connected to a large lobby and snack bar. The facility also includes a meeting room and a skate-sharpening service. The building was built in 1970 and underwent a major renovation project in 2006–2007 which included seating and locker room upgrades in the main arena. Another major renovation project began in 2023 which eliminated a second rink in the building, replacing it with a connected, but separate, facility focused on music education.
