Teachout Events

Designed and renovated by the late architect Kirk V. Blunck, FAIA, with the intention to preserve its simple, raw, organic beauty, Teachout Events is a testament to his award-winning aesthetic. Blunck, well-known for his deep appreciation for historical restoration, carefully revitalized and preserved the building's original elements while overlaying the clean lines of a modern space. Today, an unfinished yet deliberate space, it allows for independent creativity and freedom to design a customized event. The 6,592 square foot raw space features a main ballroom, coat check room, ‘get ready’ room, area for catering set-up, and private restrooms. It's also situated right in the heart of Des Moines, IA, near the Iowa State Capitol, the Science Center of Iowa, and other historic landmarks.
