Cleveland Convention Center and Global Center for Health Innovation

Completely replacing an existing below-grade convention center, Cleveland’s new design features meeting room, ballroom, and exhibition hall spaces located below a historic, landscaped public plaza and two roadways. The project also includes the addition of a new, state-of-the-art Global Center for Health Innovation (the “Medical Mart”), a four-story permanent showcase for medical equipment, containing meeting rooms, showrooms, administrative spaces, front-of-house prefunction/circulation space, and back-of-house support space.
