Colorado Convention Center Phases I + II

Colorado Convention Center’s dramatic, cantilevered stainless steel roof planes and extensive transparent curtainwall mark Denver’s downtown district and redefine the city’s skyline. An expansive façade wraps the existing, operational convention center in grand, transparent public spaces, while doubling the amount of exhibition and preregistration space.

Rising up to 100 feet tall and encompassing over 35,000 square feet, the center’s luminous lobbies are bathed in natural light that washes over art pieces, circular light fixtures and a host of other humanizing elements. These features give patrons a moment of repose to orient themselves before proceeding down the Grand Concourse or up escalators to the exhibit hall.

The entire facility is designed to maximize flexibility and thereby meet the needs of large, midsize and small conventions. Moveable wall partitions allow the exhibit hall to be divided into a dozen different configurations and up to six rooms, each with its own audiovisual capabilities and access to bathrooms, concessions and loading docks. For added convenience, 75- foot long semitrailer trucks can drive directly onto the exhibit floor to unload large exhibits.
