Hannah Grimes Center for Entrepreneurship

Keene, NH

History
Created to foster the success of entrepreneurs in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire, Hannah Grimes Center for Entrepreneurship promotes, through education, mentorship, and financial assistance; the key elements of establishing a thriving, sustainable local economy.

Assumption
The Hannah Grimes Center will continue to provide a much-needed space for entrepreneurship training in the Monadnock Region. Revenue is derived from workshops, incubator office space, and meeting room rentals. As a model of leadership and innovation, the interior space needed to reflect and encourage this mindset.

Approach
MPA designed an urban entrance to this brick industrial facade, providing ADA accessibility as well as street chic. Space planning for the upper floor involved a complete interior renovation which now allows for additional incubator offices and meeting space.

Alchemy
The Center has been transformed into a bright, inspiring space that sparks creativity and possibility. A welcoming entrance and modern palette add vibrancy and energy.
