AECOM Hunt’s work on the Phoenix Convention Center was a 2,000,000 SF expansion and renovation completed in two phases. Phase one included a 660,000 SF, four-level terrace building with a below-grade parking garage. Phase two included the demolition of the existing north building and construction of a 1,400,000 SF, four-level building and parking structure with loading docks.
Additional components included a pedestrian bridge and light rail station; bringing existing streets to grade level to free up space for a contiguous, underground exhibit hall between the two new buildings; a 50,000 SF renovation of existing meeting rooms; and an upgrade of mechanical and electrical systems.
