This world-class, award-winning 255,000-sf. Exhibition Hall
is part of a full-service, multi-building exposition facility
comprised of a 10,000-seat Coliseum; 21,000-sf. arena; and
9 livestock buildings. The new Exhibition Hall hosts more
than 300 exhibits, meetings, conventions, banquets, and trade
and consumer shows annually. Its versatility of space accommodates
up to 900 10-foot by 10-foot exhibits simultaneously, with
meeting services for the diverse needs of groups ranging from
12 to 2,000 participants.
The design solution includes three areas: remodeling of an
existing facility, a new exhibit hall, and lobby. The expansion
added more than 218,000-square-feet to the existing 37,000-sf.
facility. The new building includes 13 large conference/meeting
rooms; food service areas; 100,000 square feet of unobstructed
exhibit space; support offices; drayage/storage; and 45,000
square feet of lobby and pre-function space.
The expansion complements the facility’s existing architectural
details with a contemporary design and incorporates shapes
and materials similar to the Coliseum. |
