Planning a corporate event in Atlanta's industrial loft spaces gives you an alternative to hotel ballrooms. At Ambient Plus Studio in the West End, we host company meetings, product launches, team building events, and corporate gatherings in a 100-year-old cotton factory with 25,000 square feet of exposed brick and hardwood floors. The open vendor policy lets you bring your own caterer and coordinate your own event team, which gives you control over budget and execution. The industrial setting provides an authentic character that hotel conference centers can't replicate.
Steps to Execute Your Corporate Event in an Industrial Loft
Corporate events in industrial loft spaces require different planning than traditional venues. The flexible layout, authentic architecture, and vendor freedom mean you coordinate more details but gain more control over the final experience.
Understand the Space Options
Stage 1 provides 10,000 square feet with exposed brick walls and west-facing factory windows. Your rental includes eight hours, tables, chairs, storage, parking, and furniture setup and breakdown. The permanent string lights add atmosphere, and the one-wall cyc provides a projection surface. Ground-level access simplifies load in. The kitchen includes refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves.
Stage 3 offers 2,000 square feet with 11-foot ceilings and an optional private entrance. Wi-Fi and HVAC ensure business functionality. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator and microwave.
Stage 4 brings 2,800 square feet with white brick walls, a skylight, and built-in effects lighting that cycles through the RGB spectrum. The built-in curtain divider creates separate zones. The mirrored wall makes the space feel larger.
Multiple stages can be combined for larger events. Stages can also serve back-of-house functions like production offices or storage.
Create Your Event Layout in the Industrial Space
Built in 1910 as a cotton factory, Stage 1's 10,000 square feet with 15-foot ceilings provides flexible space. Ground-level access simplifies load in. The exposed brick walls and west-facing factory windows are part of the architecture. Furniture rentals are available in-house. Storage is included for materials and equipment.
Coordinate Catering With Kitchen Access and Bar Service
Bring your own caterer as long as they carry insurance. Your caterer works in Stage 1's kitchen with access to refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves. We include tables and chairs. Farm tables and specialty chairs are available as add-ons.
If you're serving alcohol, you bring your own and your caterer handles bar service. We include bar kits, and you can add extras for multiple stations. Alcohol must be given away, not sold.
Leverage the Natural Light and Industrial Architecture
The west-facing factory windows provide natural light. The exposed brick, large factory windows, and hardwood floors create an industrial setting. Built in 1910 as a cotton factory, the space has authentic historic architecture.
