Phoenix Convention Center Expansion
Completed in two phases, this project includes above- and below-grade exhibition halls, meeting rooms, ballrooms, and an elevated loading dock. MKA’s solution for both phases features multi-story interstitial trusses that span over the lower exhibition hall, house the meeting room levels, reduce the overall height of the structure, provide maximum efficiency for the M/E spaces, and resist wind and seismic forces.
