The Design-Build expansion of Anaheim Convention Center will add 200,000 square feet of event space, which will allow the convention center to serve an additional 250,000 visitors annually and generate millions in new local revenue. In addition to the 200,000 square feet of space that will be added, the expansion will also include nearly 700 parking spots and connector bridge from the current convention center to the expansion.
The innovative design solution provides two levels of highly flexible multipurpose space. These two levels of multipurpose space are separated by two levels of interstitial parking that capitalize on the required long span structural solution. The architectural expression of the expansion extends the curvilinear glass facade north to Katella Avenue and an expanded event plaza. The north elevation provides an elevated balcony for outdoor events while the green roof features native California grasses to provide a dynamic roof design for the expanded campus.
