Western Stock Show Association Legacy Building

The Legacy Building serves as a civic anchor for the National Western campus, providing a welcoming home for the Western Stock Show Association. Integrated within the historic Livestock Exchange complex (1898–1919), the building establishes continuity across the campus through its massing, scale, and material palette, drawing from the durable character of early stockyard-era structures while expressing its role as a contemporary civic building.

Grounded in the spirit and Code of the West, the Legacy is shaped by practicality, resilience, and respect for craft. Its spaces support both daily operations and public gathering, offering clarity of use and long-term flexibility. Conceived to serve future generations, the building reinforces the Association’s role in advancing agriculture and ranching while providing a setting for exchange, leadership, and shared purpose across the National Western community.
