This project extends the energy of the arena and convention center into the downtown area and really electrifies the city.

Champlin | EOP partnered with NBBJ to design a comprehensive renovation of Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center, the largest basketball arena in the US and home to the nation's most-winning college basketball team, the Kentucky Wildcats. Over its four decades of use, it has earned a cult-like status. It's a center of pride on hallowed ground and its renovation pays homage to that tradition while updating it for a new era. The new design of the facility is a huge opportunity for the Lexington to take a step forward as a city. It's a game changer.
