Over the past decade, the Mitchell Activities Center roof has been a nagging headache for the city of Mitchell and its users.
Problems began shortly after a major addition to the Activities Center was completed in 2013, which entailed the construction of a second ice rink that’s now the south side of the city-owned facility. Sports Complex Supervisor Jeremy Nielsen said the hockey and ice skating facility experienced leaks just months after the roughly 31,000-square-foot addition was complete. That led to water dripping onto the bleachers and locker rooms inside the building, and multiple attempts to repair the roof since it began leaking haven't fully resolved the issues.
