The Pavilion at Pan Am was operated by the Indiana/World Skating Academy and has one standard 85-by-200-foot (26 by 61 m) ice rink (NHL size) and one 100-by-200-foot (30 by 61 m) ice rink (Olympic Games size). These high quality rinks, coupled with a research center devoted to testing skaters' athletic prowess, has established The Pavilion at Pan Am as a primary training site for striving young hockey players and figure skaters.
Following the suspension of operations by the Indiana/World Skating Academy in April 2013, Pan Am Sports Incorporated assumed day-to-day operational responsibility for the ice rinks at Pan Am Plaza.[1] With the change in management, the facility was also rebranded as Pan Am Pavilion and served as the official training facility of the Indiana Ice, a member of the United States Hockey League, until late 2014.
In 2015, Indy Pavilion LLC took over the facility and rebranded it as the Pavilion at Pan Am, a live events center. To date, the venue has played host to over 600 events and has been a staple to the Indianapolis music scene and Downtown economy.
