Mosaic Quarter Jobs Coming in 2027

TUCSON, AZ — The big sports complex rising across I-10 from the Kino Sports Complex has a new name and a firm opening season, and that puts a new batch of Tucson jobs on the 2027 calendar. Idaho Central Credit Union has signed a 20-year naming-rights deal, so Mosaic Quarter becomes ICCU Mosaic Quarter. Its three-rink Iceplex opens in spring 2027, and a two-story Field House follows that summer.

Ice rinks, three restaurants, team stores and event space on the south side. Mosaic Quarter jobs aren't posted yet, but the company is already taking names for full-time, part-time and seasonal work.

A New Name on the South Side's Biggest Build

Under the agreement, announced by ICCU in September, the whole 90-acre campus takes the credit union's name, MQ Iceplex becomes ICCU Iceplex and MQ Field House becomes ICCU Field House. Terms weren't disclosed. The new branding rolls out in phases through the 2027 opening, and the partners plan an annual spring weekend of sports and entertainment called the ICCU-MQ Community Cares Festival.

ICCU, based in Chubbuck, Idaho, came to Tucson in 2025 by merging with Tucson Old Pueblo Credit Union and says it's looking at adding branches around town.

What Opens in 2027

ICCU Iceplex, spring 2027. The 175,000-square-foot building holds three NHL regulation rinks, including a 3,000-seat arena rink that will be home ice for University of Arizona hockey. The Tucson Junior Roadrunners will run the house youth league, the Tucson Adult Hockey League moves in, and MyHockey Tournaments plans to bring national youth tournaments. Add public skating, ice bumper cars and curling, plus a full-service restaurant, a team store and pro shop, and private event rooms. The announcement noted that Tucson's growing youth hockey programs now share a single seasonal sheet of ice and often drive to other Arizona cities for more.

MQ Crossing, spring 2027. An outdoor gathering area next to the Iceplex with a casual restaurant, an event plaza for live music and movies, a splash pad and a memorial garden honoring veterans.

ICCU Field House, summer 2027. Two floors of convertible courts and turf, each about a quarter larger than a football field, for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, indoor soccer and mat sports, plus another restaurant, a second team store, an event center and rooftop patios.

Later phases call for a stadium, a second sportsplex, a pavilion and hotels, with no opening dates yet.

Hiring Hasn't Started, but the List Is Open

Mosaic Quarter's employment page is upfront: no open positions today. It does take an interest form, which asks whether you want full-time, year-round part-time or seasonal part-time work, and which area you're after:

Management and administration
Marketing and communications
Facility operations and maintenance
Sports and recreation staff
Events and guest services
Retail and pro shop
Food and beverage
Hospitality and lodging
Groundskeeping and security

The page is also available in Spanish. Job estimates in past news coverage have varied widely, and Mosaic Quarter hasn't published a headcount or hiring schedule. Mosaic Quarter president Lindsay Knott pictured a kid who learns to skate at the Iceplex someday working a shift there, which is about as clear a signal as you'll get that local hiring is part of the plan.

There's a training pipeline, too. Pima Community College will run hands-on workforce training at the venues in hospitality, culinary arts, business, construction, sports injury management and more, and Pima JTED students get sports-medicine internships. TMC Health and Tucson Orthopaedic Institute are the official sports medicine partners, with certified athletic trainers at events and a planned 20,000-square-foot on-site medical center.

What It Means for Tucson Job Seekers

Events and guest services: birthday parties, tournaments, rooftop receptions and an event center need event coordinators, guest services staff and banquet servers.
Rink and recreation staff: skate rental, open-skate monitors, league and program staff. If you've played or coached hockey, figure skating or court sports, say so on the form.
