Oval lodge demolished

A crew from Cristo Demolition Inc. in Albany loads a tractor trailer full of the remnants of the 1977 scorekeeping building at the Olympic Speedskating Oval in Lake Placid in May. The state Olympic Regional Development Authority, which operates the oval and the Olympic Center rinks next door on Main Street, was in the middle of multi-million-dollar venue upgrades to prepare for the 2023 Winter World University Games. In March, the ORDA board approved spending $12.4 million on the oval, which will undergo a complete renovation over the next year. Most of the work is expected to be done in time to host the FISU World Speed Skating Championships from March 2 to 6, 2022. The oval building will be replaced with a smaller “Adirondack style” one.
