The Norris Ice Rink began deconstruction Monday and has been closed for the 2012 season.
Associate Director for Event Management Amy White said the closing was done in advance of the upcoming construction of the Dance Marathon tent and has nothing to do with this year's unseasonably warm weather.
The warmer winter resulted in less frequent use of the ice rink, but Monday’s closing is consistent with previous years’ and the need to allow enough time for DM construction, according to White.
NUDM tent construction commences this week.
