Monona Terrace Community and Convention Centera public place by Frank Lloyd Wright |
Monona Terrace embraces the shore of picturesque Lake Monona in the heart of Madison's vibrant cultural and entertainment district. It's close to shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, clubs and pubs, and within minutes of the airport, hotels, university, dozens of great golf courses and Madison's five area lakes.
History
On July 18, 1997, Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center opened its doors after nearly 60 years of debate. It was first designed by Wisconsin native and internationally renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 as a cultural, governmental and recreational building. Wright reworked the design several times between 1938 and 1958 before signing off on the final plans seven weeks before his death in 1959.
In 1992, Madison voters approved referenda to construct Monona Terrace—on the same site Wright had originally proposed—as a community and convention center. While Wright's design was used for the building's exterior, the interior was redesigned by Wright apprentice and Taliesin architect Tony Puttnam to house state-of-the-art exhibition, meeting and public space.
Sustainability
One of the reasons we chose Monona Terrace is their work to support sustainable efforts and environmentally responsible operations. Monona Terrace is the first convention center to receive silver level certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
