The Tacoma Convention Center has undergone site location changes
and design modifications over the past two years. Syska Hennessy
Group
has been part of the team throughout the development process, creating
systems built for expansions and co-use with hotel and residential
facilities. Syska has provided integrated services (vertical transportation,
technology, security and lighting design) to ensure coordination
that minimizes construction costs.
This integration is realized in such ways as having the electrical
documents provide conduit and cable tray systems for technology
and security use or having our plumbing documents provide large “free-through” conduit
systems for exhibit hall additional capacity.
The new 130,000 sq. ft. convention center will include 50,000
sq. ft. of meeting rooms and ballroom space. It will host local,
state and regional conventions ranging between 300 and 1500 delegates
and banquets up to 2000. Functional
design requirements include an efficient and cost effective layout,
flexible room modules, and easy access from both an operations
and user perspective.
