SM&W Contribution
The HW Hutchison Family Stockyards Event Center is a multipurpose, flexible space that offers two arenas.
SM&W’s information technology infrastructure played a pivotal role in the success of the project. Our team handled all IT cabling, ensuring a seamless and robust network capable of supporting the diverse needs of the National Western Center, Stockyards Event Center. Also unique about the site was that it includes several historic buildings dating back to as early as 1898.
Further detailed information:
*The Stockyards Show Arena is a 24,025 GSF facility with 1,000 bleacher seats used for livestock shows and sales during the NWSS and is the support building for year-round events in the Stockyards.
*The Stockyard Auction Arena is a 650 fixed-seat, 15,000-gsf terraced seating arena used for livestock sales, classroom space, and possible performing arts events.
*The Outdoor Stockyards consists of 20-acres and will function as an 800 cattle pen during stock yard times but should function as a multi-purpose space. This outdoor space will be used as a destination location for concerts, RV/Car shows, flea markets, and outdoor sporting events.
