Hutchinson Convention Center: HutchinsoN, Kansas
The building and it’s landscape is modeled on the prairie roots and shapes of utility sheds and farm technology structures. It incorporates a 30,000 sq. ft. convention hall, divisible into three sections and 7 meeting rooms. The tall round entry hall is intended to be visible from across the city, just as the grain towers nearby, make their declaration on the land.

Sustainable environment strategies directed the arrangement of building components and technologies. The building incorporates geothermal heating, evaporative cooling, day lighting, water conservation and reduced energy consumption targeted at 30%.
