The People’s United Center at Quinnipiac University, formerly the TD Banknorth Sports Center, is a 191,800 sf facility that contains a 3,710-seat basketball arena and a 3,247-seat hockey arena; a common lobby area joins it for concession stands and ticket sales. The center includes offices, locker rooms, club and premium seating, conference and meeting rooms, storage, and weight training facilities. It also offers athletic rehab and varsity strength and conditioning. Dimeo provided value engineering suggestions during the design development and construction document phases, as requested by Quinnipiac University. The final construction documents incorporated over $2.3 million in project savings. Many VE suggestions related to MEP systems, site work, and building infrastructure. The Sports Center became the home of Quinnipiac’s NCAA Division I hockey and basketball programs. The building was the first in Quinnipiac’s $150 million economic development project at its 230-acre York Hill campus.
