KANEKO will be hosting an Atrium Reveal on November 1 at 12:30 p.m. at KANEKO, located at 1111 Jones Street.
On November 1 construction will be complete on the KANEKO Atrium Project. The Atrium is KANEKO’s new front door, spanning from 11th to 12th Streets along Jones Street. This visionary design reflects the dynamic, innovative, and creative programming that occurs inside KANEKO. In keeping with the original warehouse structure, the Atrium addition integrates a new contemporary aesthetic and 5,000 added square feet of space to the KANEKO building. The KANEKO Atrium structure is sure to become an iconic part of Omaha’s historic Old Market, and serve as a permanent reminder of the impact of creativity in our community.
The Atrium Reveal will include remarks given by KANEKO Executive Director, Chris Hochstetler, Architect Mark Mack, and KANEKO Trustee James Linder MD. A keynote speech will be given by Dr. Del Weber on the historical and economic impacts the KANEKO Atrium will have on the Omaha community. Following this reveal event will be a guided tour of the Atrium and a light lunch reception.
This event is invitation only, but we welcome media outlets to attend for coverage purposes. KANEKO thanks MACK Architects, HDR Architects, Project Advocates, and Lund-Ross Construction for collaborating on this project.
