The Baton Rouge River Center design incorporates regional architectural elements, such as exterior shutters, deep sunlight filtering exterior spaces and double height porticos. These design elements are evident in the grand main lobby as well as the exterior second-floor veranda that showcases views of the Mississippi River.Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, the Baton Rouge River Center expansion has completely transformed downtown Baton Rouge. The entire complex, including the existing Arena and Theatre for the Performing Arts, as well as the new Exhibition Hall, includes more than 200,000 square feet of new and renovated space, and incorporates state-of-the-art exhibition, meeting, concession and kitchen facilities. The new 70,000 square-foot Exhibition Hall can be combined with the existing Arena to create more than 100,000 square-feet of contiguous exhibit space.
