AP started construction on the state-of-the-art facility in March 2015, which includes a 443-seat auditorium, back of stage support spaces, a museum and archival space, library, conference rooms and a dining space featuring a full catering kitchen. The building’s interior includes high-level finishes with detailed wood trim and millwork, natural stone and marble flooring, custom carpets, brass railings and decorative plaster columns, while the exterior is composed of brick masonry, architectural precast and a clay tile roof. The grand opening of the facility was held on June 24, 2016.

Minnesota Masonic Charities, the owner behind this magnificent project, was established in 2006 with a mission to promote greater levels of philanthropy in the areas of cancer research, children’s health, eldercare, education and historic preservation. The construction of the Center offers the community an opportunity to learn more about the concepts and contributions of Freemasonry and a beautiful space in which to gather for meetings or events.
