Maysa Arena Addition

The Maysa Arena addition in Minot, North Dakota expanded an existing community and athletic facility to support high school, collegiate, and junior hockey programs. The project added a new 1,800 seat hockey arena designed in a horseshoe configuration, along with expanded concourse space, upgraded amenities, and enhanced spectator experiences.

Hunt Electric, through Mayer Electric, delivered a complete electrical and low voltage scope for the addition, including data, fire alarm, fiber, and audio visual systems. This integrated approach supported both the operational needs of the facility and the expectations of modern sports venues.

The arena addition was designed to support a wide range of users and events, from competitive hockey to community gatherings. The new concourse wraps fully around the arena and includes additional seating areas, concessions, and improved circulation for spectators.

Additional upgrades include meeting and multipurpose spaces, a press box, and a state of the art sound system, creating a more versatile and engaging environment for both athletes and visitors.

Hunt Electric delivered a comprehensive electrical and systems package for the arena addition, including:

• Electrical systems installation
• Low voltage data systems
• Fire alarm systems
• Fiber infrastructure
• Audio visual systems
• Integration of all systems within the expanded facility
