The Rochester office of Kraus-Anderson begun construction on the $39 million Graham Park Exhibition Center at 1407 3rd Ave. SE in Rochester, Minnesota.
The multi-purpose facility will meet Olmsted County’s diverse community needs by becoming a year-round hub for sports events, concerts, livestock and horse shows, trade shows and cultural celebrations in southeast Minnesota.
Designed by LHB Architecture and CRW Architecture + Design Group, the 80,000-square-foot facility will feature a 49,000-square-foot main arena with retractable seating for up to 1,500 people, a 16,500-square-foot warm-up arena for pre-event activities and an outdoor activity pad for flexible outdoor events. The project will also include space for 250 portable stalls and modern accommodations for visitors, exhibitors and animals.
The facility will be open for operations in early 2027.
