NORWOOD — Olga Ganicheva told her skaters at the Dallas Figure Skating Club about a new building going up in Massachusetts that would make the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg look like an ice shanty.

“At the beginning I thought, this totally won’t happen,” said Ashley Lin. “Then at the end of August we came up and took a tour and I thought, ‘Well, this is serious.’ ”

The Skating Club of Boston, which for more than eight decades operated out of a glorified Quonset hut by the Charles River, has become the sport’s 21st-century mecca. Its new $67 million facility on University Avenue in Norwood, which opened in September, has three ice surfaces plus an extraordinary range of amenities.
