A downtown landmark, rebuilt for the room it is now.

Originally built in 1926, the building at 224 South Washington Square stood as a downtown Lansing landmark for nearly a century. It's since been transformed into a premiere event space unlike anything else in the city — the old steel bones kept, everything around them rebuilt for live sound.

The Room

Six thousand square feet of open steel.

Spanning over 6,000 square feet on the main level, the space is surrounded on three sides by an open second-level mezzanine. Intentionally crafted for dynamic standing-room experiences and equipped with fully cashless bars, the hall offers seamless flexibility and dynamic adaptability — effortlessly transitioning from high-energy live concerts and comedy shows to private celebrations and corporate events.

The Numbers

The room flexes with the night: up to 900 standing for a sold-out show, 400 seated theater-style, or 225 at formal banquet rounds for a wedding or gala.

Built to Hold a Crowd

The hall, by the numbers.

One 1926 landmark room, wired for anything — the specs behind every show, wedding, and gala it holds.
