Cleveland Convention Center Renovation
The 78,000-ft² expansion of the Huntington Convention Center includes an adjacent extension that seamlessly connects to a new 20,000 sq ft ballroom, complete with a rooftop terrace. Creating the desired column-free ballroom required the removal of four load-bearing columns supporting 25% of the building’s weight. MKA inserted a multi-story truss into the exterior column line to maintain support. The truss spans the ballroom, allowing the columns to be removed below and supporting half of the new ballroom building’s outdoor rooftop terrace.
