Altoona, IA
This addition included a multi-purpose facility capable of accommodating 800 seats for banquet-style events and 1,200 seats for theater style events. A grand arcade for pre-function activities connects the multi-purpose room with a conference center which includes several smaller break-out rooms and a grand board room.
Two separate dining facilities were included with all the support amenities of a large commercial kitchen. A large buffet style restaurant that seats 338 guests was designed to provide a variety of cuisine options fully decorated with a Prairie-style theme. In addition, a 120-person fine dining restaurant was designed to provide yet another cuisine option for a casually elegant dining experience.
Prairie Meadows wanted to renovate the Terrace Dining facilities to create special plush VIP booths for small and medium-sized groups of spectators. The booths were designed with generous, soft seating and ornate finishes to present a festive atmosphere for these special groups. Shive-Hattery provided architectural and interior design services for the renovation.
