about our building
Our five-story, 45,000 square foot multifunction community and cultural center (a former parking garage!) was renovated by Redeemer Presbyterian Church and opened in March of 2012. Boasting a concert hall that seats up to 725, two floors of classrooms and meeting space, and a versatile 3,500 square foot loft space with adjoining roof terrace, our space hosts a wide variety of public and private events. W83 serves as the worship and meeting space for the Redeemer West Side congregation, and hosts events from concerts to conferences to private receptions, including weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and more. The Gallery at W83 showcases emerging local artists and is open to the public daily.
W83 is proud to maintain LEED Certified status, granted in 2013 for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design for New Construction.
