GLASS COUNCIL NEWS--Steelworker-Made Glass Brightens Penguin Arena

摘要

One of the first things you notice about the Consol Energy Center, the new home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, is a gigantic glass atrium that allows the interior to be bathed in natural light. The glass, all 65,000 square feet of it, was fabricated by members of USW Local 9445-20 at PDC Glass and Metal Services Inc. in Cheswick, Pa. "It's something to see," said Unit President Dan Krystek. The Consol Energy Center replaced the Penguins' former home, the domed Pittsburgh Civic Arena, built in 1961.
