Amenities & Features

Close your eyes and imagine... The rich aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. The hiss of steam escaping from a perfectly pulled shot of espresso. The warm embrace of a cozy café atmosphere, even if just for a moment. This is the CxT Roasting Company experience, proudly brewing up locally sourced coffee magic in the heart of Peoria Civic Center Great Hall.

The Sensory Comfort Room is located in the Played in Peoria lobby and is available during all events. The space is equipped with soothing lights, calming sounds, and a variety of tactile experiences to help reduce stress and provide a comforting space for those that may find themselves overstimulated, anxious or needing a quiet moment. The room is also available as a Mother's Room to provide a comfortable, private place for nursing or pumping. Decorative artwork within the space was commissioned through EP!Casso Art Studio & Gallery.
