ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Wisconsin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) has announced its 2023 Design Award winners, with the Resch Expo Center named one of the recipients.
Out of 64 entries from architects across the state of Wisconsin, only 10 were chosen as winners. Three projects received the Honor Award for overall excellence, and seven – including the Resch Expo Center – were given Merit Awards for distinction in a focused area.
Directly connected to the Resch Center arena and adjacent to Lambeau Field, the 266,000 square foot Resch Expo Center opened in January 2021, replacing the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena.
“A sweeping roofline creates three individual elevations, forming a grand entrance at the front of the building,” reads the AIA Design Awards project summary. “The new building’s main draw is an open exhibition space that is already attracting trade shows, sporting events and large meetings that had previously passed on the Green Bay area. The space can also be subdivided into three exhibit halls and is complemented by six breakout suites on the second floor.”
Other local projects chosen as Design Award winners this year include the Egg Harbor Lodge II in Egg Harbor and additions to the Peninsula Art School and Gallery in Fish Creek.
