According to Mick McComber, director of UMD&#8217;s recreational sports program, approximately 90 percent of all students participate in recreational and outdoor activities. The rink received extensive usage for club hockey, figure skating and open skating sessions.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2018, the rink was closed after an annual inspection detected the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/17\/five-fast-facts-about-mold-identification-risks-and-remediation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">presence of mold<\/a> along the roof trusses. UMD senior project manager John Kessler explained that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/10\/02\/bathroom-mold-when-can-you-clean-and-when-do-you-need-a-professional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remediation efforts<\/a> traced the cause of the mold to the HVAC system, which then had to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally Mold-Free<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the time, UMD was also in the process of moving to an ammonia-based ice plant so they could discontinue use of a previous refrigerant that is now banned. Total bill for the entire project was $3.6 million, which came from a combination of student fees, state money and a loan from the university system. The rink has now been reopened to students, a full two years after the original closure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need Manhattan Mold Removal?
