S.M. Wilson & Co. was the general contractor for Edwardsville’s new $11.2 million R.P. Lumber Center, built to meet the growing demand for “ice time” in the region.

The 64,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility provides year-round ice skating, exercise and other recreational activities. It features a National Hockey League-regulation size ice rink with 650 seats, two community spaces for events, seven locker rooms, an elevated four-lane track and a fitness center. Located near Edwardsville High School, the complex also includes a teen center to provide after-school activities and study space.
