Oklahoma City Convention Center

This two-story 550,000-ft² convention center features a 200,000-ft² exhibit hall, 45,000 ft² of meeting rooms, and a 30,000 ft² ballroom space—all designed for optimal front-of-house circulation and back-of-house support. The north entry lobby roof is supported by 100-ft tall, unbraced, sloping columns, while the exhibit hall is supported by 20-ft deep trusses spanning 90 ft in both directions. Spans of 140 ft in the ballroom create a column-free space. Long cantilevers—up to 62 ft at the Ballroom Level balcony and at the Roof—are supported by 6-ft- to 8-ft-deep plate girders.
