Highmark Events Center awarded $1.5 million grant 

Gannon University’s newly named Highmark Events Center was awarded $1.5 million by the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capitol Program.  

The RACP will be supporting Gannon’s plans to renovate the 36,560-square-foot Highmark Events Center, formerly known as the Hammermill Center. 

These improvements will enhance opportunities for athletic events, community lectures, concerts, camps, events and ways to create economic support for the Erie region.   

The Highmark Center renovations are expected to exceed $10 million, with major changes planned for inside and outside of the facility.  

The renovations include new women’s and men’s locker rooms for both home and visiting teams, new courts for all of the sports that take place in the center, as well as new seating and concession stands.
