New arena in 2021

In 2018, CC announced plans to build a new $38 million arena located on campus. The facility will be named Edward J. Robson Arena in honor of 1954 CC alum and former Tigers hockey player Edward Robson. This will be the Tiger's new home rink after playing at the

since 1998. The new arena will have a capacity of 3,376, less than half that of World Arena. It will also feature an NHL-sized rink instead of the World Arena's Olympic-size rink. Robson Arena will sit around 6,050 feet above sea level, about 200 feet below the World Arena. Colorado College planned to break ground for the new arena in 2018, initially hoping for it to be ready for play by 2020. Changes made during the planning process, most notably the addition of a parking garage and a shift in the arena footprint within its city block, led to delays. While demolition on the project began in 2018, groundbreaking for the new arena is now set for 2020, with a planned opening for the 2021–22 season.
