Shelbyville Conference & Welcome Center

EOP’s design inspiration came from the area’s iconic barns and incorporates three silos that already served as a landmark on the site. With steep grades, the site presented challenging opportunities allowing a unique orientation perpendicular to street.

The 16,200 square foot facility includes floor-to-ceiling windows broken up by stone frontage, a metal gabled roof that wraps around the back on the conference space end, and interior roof trusses that separate the space into three acoustically different areas. The space can accommodate up to 500 with expanded prefunction space and nearly 200 parking spaces on the front side of the center with a separate lot behind a retaining wall for overflow and buses. Shelbyville Tourism, previously located in a separate facility, will be occupying space in the conference and welcome center. Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative (OVEC) will also provide training in the center.
