Major work was completed following the 2002–2003 season. On 31 March 2003, construction of the ceiling began.[3] The unit was shut down the same day, and removal of the former ice began. In April the same year, the wooden beams were delivered.[4]

The first game inside was played on 5 October 2003 when Edsbyns IF defeated Ljusdals IF, 7–1, in a friendly game.[5] Walls weren't added until after the 2003–2004 season.[6]
