Appleton Arena will look slightly different on the inside at the beginning of next season.

Last week, a St. Lawrence University trustees board approved renovation plans for the arena. Jeremy Freeman, the arena's director of operations, said the cement floor where the cooling system operates underneath the ice will be replaced. Also, new boards will be installed around the rink.

Freeman said these repairs are the first for Appleton in approximately 10 years. The venue has endured thorough remodeling phases, but has maintained its classic look since opening in 1951.
