The 72,000 square feet Dakotah! Ice Center owned by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) was designed with state-of-the-art energy efficiency and environmentally friendly components. In addition to a 32,000 square foot green roof, sixteen solar panels, rain gardens and recycled benches, the Ice Center features 14,000 square feet of VAST Composite Permeable Pavers installed along the parking lot center aisle and at the entrance of the facility. The SMSC chose VAST over conventional concrete permeable pavers and other pervious pavements because of its recycled content, durability, appearance and performance.
