The ice arena is part of the larger Marano Campus Center Complex that serves as a location for various student activities, food court, retail space, meeting rooms, the Educational Planning Center, radio, and the Al Roker TV Studio, home of WTOP, classrooms, a range of offices and new auditorium space.[3] The arena portion of the building was built to replace the Golden Romney Field House, a largely dilapidated Quonset hut that had served as the main hockey arena from 1963 up to that point.[4] The other portions largely replaced Hewitt Student Union, a 1970s era building built primarily to house the college's student organizations.
