CRANBERRY, PA-Top brass from the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and UPMC used ceremonial hockey sticks to break ground on their new $79-million UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex here on Wednesday.
The new facility will combine a UPMC health clinic with a two-rink practice facility for the Penguins and will be located at a 12-acre site near the junction of Route 228 and Interstate 79. The property, which was once explored as a site for a regional shopping center, is owned by developer Gary Sippel.
Expected to be completed in the summer of 2015, the project will total 180,000 square feet of space. The Penguins will shift from their current practice facility in Southpointe. See story in the Pittsburgh Business Journal.
