This is a two phase project.  Phase 1 is the demolition of the existing parking garage and terrace followed by the construction of an approximately 595,000 SF West Building.  The first phase will have an exhibit hall of approximately 100,000 SF, a multipurpose room of about 50,000 SF.  It will serve as both exhibit hall and ballroom until the second phase is built.  There will be about 30,000 SF of meeting rooms, a 16,000 SF conference center plus administration offices, kitchen, concessions and retail.  Contributing to the unique demands on design is that the exhibit hall floor is 50 ft below grade and that the West Building must be complete in time for the Symphony Hall to open for the 2006 season.  The second phase will demolish the existing North Building and construct about 1.5 million SF, with an additional 500,000 SF of exhibit halls (one below grade and one elevated) and 105,000 SF of meeting rooms.  The Owner is pursuing LEED certification. As of May 2004, we have completed the conceptual design for both phases and then pursued the development of Phase 1.  The Phase 1 project is in Construction Documents.  McCleskey Consulting's role is to consult to the engineers-of-record for mechanical, electrical and plumbing/fire protection design of the facility.
