Thompson Arena

Rupert C. Thompson Arena is a striking 3,500-seat hockey venue located in Hanover, New Hampshire, designed by the acclaimed architect Pier Luigi Nervi. Serving as the home for Dartmouth College's Big Green men's and women's ice hockey teams, the arena showcases a unique barrel-vaulted structure. Opened in 1975, it replaced the original Davis Rink and has undergone significant renovations, including updates to locker rooms and facilities in 2016. A major renovation is planned for 2025 to celebrate its 50th anniversary, enhancing amenities for players and fans alike, making it an exciting destination for sports enthusiasts and researchers interested in architectural design.
