Minnesota State University Centennial Ballroom

Mankato, Minnesota

The Centennial Ballroom project is a remodel of a 1960′s building on the campus of Minnesota State University in Mankato Minnesota.  It includes a complete renovation of the ballroom, control room, lobby, back-of-house serving area, and associated mechanical room.  The main goal of the ballroom renovation is to update a space that still is in its original 1960’s state. The ballroom, lobby, and serving area receive heavy use by the MSUM community and Mankato public. Finishes are dated, audio/visual capabilities have not kept up with current or projected needs, and mechanical/electrical systems are outmoded. What was originally the projection booth will now become a control room given most projection is digital and today’s expectations for higher-end sound and lighting controls.
