Event venues come in various shapes and sizes; however, few are as unique as The Plant. This former meatpacking facility turned sustainable business park is an impressive destination for hosting events, especially with its sustainability-focused approach towards industrial practices. Unsurprisingly, The Plant has been the venue of choice for various conventions, weddings, and corporate events.
The Plant is spread over a 94,000 square foot area and features more than 20 fully leased spaces ranging from commercial kitchens to craft beer breweries. These areas can be utilized for various events, including meetings, team-building exercises, corporate retreats, music festivals, trade shows, product launches, and conferences.
What makes The Plant stand out as an event venue is its eco-friendly approach towards the environment and the community. The Plant is designed based on circular economy principles - aiming to eliminate waste by reusing and recycling materials. The building uses renewable energy sources, like solar and geothermal power, insulating concrete forms to reduce heating and cooling needs, reducing carbon footprint, and creating a sustainable environment.
Moreover, The Plant collaborates closely with small-scale local farmers and food artisans to offer locally sourced, sustainably grown ingredients suitable for events that have food requirements. Often, these vendors are also tenants at The Plant, renting spaces for food production activities.
One of the primary spaces available for renting at The Plant is the recently renovated "Fish Room," an ideal location for weddings and other formal gatherings. The space offers exceptional acoustics and lighting elements that add charm, mood, and vibrancy to events. It's also equipped with a comprehensive audio-visual system that enables clients to execute significant presentations, performances, and speeches seamlessly.
In conclusion, The Plant is not just another event venue but part of a sustainable community striving to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. Hosting events at The Plant supports the growth of local businesses while promoting sustainable conservation ideals. With multiple spaces perfect for hosting an array of events coupled with their sustainable practices, The Plant is a practical and unique event venue capable of serving multiple purposes.
