Renovation of a stadium in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a stadium.

This project will replace existing fluorescent lighting fixtures in the three rink spaces, all locker rooms, the lobby, and offices at Hobbs with new LED fixtures. Doing so will significantly decrease the electricity consumed for lighting in the facility. Specifically in the rink spaces, switching to LED lighting will also reduce the heat load on the ice refrigeration equipment as LED fixtures produce significantly less heat. LED lighting also has a significantly longer lifespan than fluorescent lighting which will reduce maintenance and bulb replacement costs. As of September 24, 2025, this project is still in the conceptual phase. A timeline for design and construction has not yet been established. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
