Keene Event Center

Begining as a semester-long independent feasability study of Keene’s current proposed event center, the mission evolved to a year long project. Through extensive research, collaboration with project board members, and Keene State College student-athletes, the goal was set to design a multi-purpose athletic/ exposition center in downtown Keene to meet the increasing demands of local schools, groups, and organizations. The facility would allow Keene to host a variety of large scale events such as tournaments, concerts and conferences, ultimately revitalizing Gilbo Avenue as a youthful extension of the well-liked historic downtown area.

The focus was to intergrate each field of study while still providing each with a space within to identify with.
