Ryan Companies Will Design-Build New Multi-Purpose Arena at University of St. Thomas

Ryan Companies US, Inc. was selected as the design-builder, in partnership with Crawford Architects, for the Lee and Penny Anderson Arena at University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. Ryan has delivered more than 30 projects with the university. 

Ryan A+E, Inc., the design studio of Ryan, and Crawford Architects will collaborate to design the multi-purpose arena and practice facilities, which will serve as the new home for the school’s men’s and women’s hockey and basketball programs. The new arena complex will play a pivotal role in the St. Thomas’ ongoing transition to NCAA Division I athletics while providing competition and training facilities for men’s and women’s athletics. 

“We’re proud of our longstanding relationship with the University of St. Thomas and are absolutely thrilled to partner with Crawford to bring a multi-purpose arena onto its campus,” said Eric Engh, SVP of construction, Ryan Companies.
