一种积极的快速轨道方法使项目团队能够进行这项9亿美元的会议中心扩展，以跟上不断增长的交付时间表（即使在Covid-19的限制之后也达到了限制之后），并在短短26个月内完成了完整的施工。

The expansion added 1.4 million sq ft to the convention center and included a modern exhibition hall, a 150-ft-tall atrium, 75 meeting rooms and a 25,000-sq-ft outdoor terrace.

With the expansion consisting of four separate projects in one, the joint-venture team was divided into four subteams. Each team focused on one element of the project and partnered with more than 50 different trades to execute 4.4 million hours of work by more than 5,400 tradespeople. Key safety measures included a comprehensive onboarding process, daily safety huddles, regular lunches with small groups of workers to solicit feedback and ongoing reviews of all safety procedures.

The building is the first convention center to achieve both LEED and Green Globes certifications. Its green features include an automated people mover, ample electric vehicle charging stations, a highly efficient central plant and many low-water use features.

In addition, the site layout was designed to maximize ride-sharing opportunities, resulting in a reduced parking footprint of 40%. The reserved parking areas offer dual-port, high-speed charging stations. The central plant has variable speed pumps and a fully automated building energy management system to perform 15% above the minimum energy code. High-efficiency LED light fixtures feature occupancy sensors and integrated dimming controls, and digital sub-meters monitor indoor and outdoor lighting and process loads independently.

The project also contains approximately 2 MW of photovoltaic panels that offset a significant portion of the building’s energy consumption and overall carbon footprint.
