March 28, 2026 |

LOWELL, MA — Flansburgh Architects is proud to partner with the Jack Kerouac Center on its mission to revitalize the historic St. Jean Baptiste Church, transforming the landmark into an experiential exchange inspired by Kerouac’s legacy.  By integrating a 1,500-seat music hall, exhibition space with a museum, an intimate 125-person performance venue, and a state-of-the-art recording studio, the design will reactivate this dormant sacred anchor as a vibrant hub for performance, creative collaboration, and community inspiration.
