The convention center is so utilized that at no time could the
contractor use any space of the existing facility. New space had to be built before ties
to existing space could be made. A new exhibit hall, prefunction space and central plant
were the first step. Step 1 completed in 1998. Step 2, the integration of the existing
exhibit halls, additional meeting rooms and prefunction area
has been completed.
A total of approximately 800,000 square feet was added.
