LEED Gold

The 878,455 SF expansion project nearly doubled the size of Pennsylvania Convention Center. The construction included a new main entrance prominently positioned under a two-story trellis along and a dramatic glass façade along Broad Street. Like the original structure, the expansion is clad in cast stone, metal panels, brick, limestone and granite. A combination of poured-in-place waffle slab and steel frame construction supports the long span trusses of the divisible Exhibit Hall, the largest contiguous exhibition space in the Northeast. This project was awarded a LEED GOLD Certification by USGBC.
