PROJECT INFORMATION

The Mankato Event Center was easily the most visible change to the Mankato Civic Center addition and expansion project. The new building stands at 56 feet from floor to roof, extending from the existing Civic Center to Second Street. With space to seat just over 2,000 people, the facility will be used for concerts not large enough to fill the 8,200 seats that can be sold in the main Civic Center. Designed for flexible use, it will feature three sections of retractable seating, lobbies, ticket offices, conference rooms, restrooms, dressing rooms for performers, and concession areas. The building’s primarily dyed precast concrete exterior will feature large areas of glass that provide views of the lobbies and stairways, and will be decorated with limestone and metal surfaces along with large “sparkle panels” that can change colors

PROJECT SCOPE

On the building’s exterior façade, our team fabricated and installedn2,910 square feet of 4mm PE Core Composite wall panels in a Champagne Metallic finish, and 2,090 square feet in a Vancouver Copper finish. MG McGrath also installed 1,910 square feet of 22 gauge Centria wall panels in a Slate Grey finish at the BOH shaft, and 1,250 square feet of 26 gauge Firestone UC-500 Soffit panels with a standard 2-coat finish
