The Lee & Penny Anderson Arena is a landmark addition to the University of St. Thomas campus, serving as the home for the university’s Division I hockey and basketball programs. Spanning approximately 250,000 square feet, the multi-use facility brings together athletics, major events, and everyday student activity in a state-of-the-art venue at the center of campus life.

Collins delivered the technology infrastructure that supports the arena’s connectivity, security, and day-to-day operations. The project included Life Safety Systems, cabling for building-wide audio/video systems, and support for the Daktronics scoreboard system and broadcast integration. Collins also installed 780 voice/data and Wi-Fi drops, 168 access-controlled doors, 140 security cameras, and a 288-strand optical fiber backbone throughout the facility.
