The Barn at Ingalls Event Center
City of Norco
Excellence in Design - Facility Design
Constructed in 2023, The Barn at Ingalls Event Center, located in the animal-keeping community of Norco, California, was primarily designed for livestock shows but is equipped to accommodate a wide variety of events from expositions, trade shows and corporate outings to wedding receptions, performances and fundraisers. The spacious, 21,000-square-foot, steel-framed structure proudly reflects the community’s rural, agricultural heritage and identity with a monitor style entryway and floor-to-ceiling sliding barn doors, yet the facility’s intentional versatility transcends its name. With a scenic backdrop, open-air atmosphere and desirable amenities, including a private food preparation area, portable performance stage, and portable dance floor, the facility is completely customizable to meet the needs of various large-sized events, including those looking to host unique, Western-themed celebrations, auditorium-style conferences or elevated banquets. A multifunctional, municipally-operated facility unrivaled in Southern California, 'The Barn' is one of the most monumental and innovative investments in Norco's history.
