The tour will be given by Turner Construction Company. Turner Construction Company and architecture firm Populous were selected to provide the design-build services for this project. Both Turner and Populous have enjoyed tremendous success and longevity in their respective fields and are known as leaders in the convention center design and construction industry, as well as design-build contracting. About the Project The expansion of the ACC will include the addition of 200,000 square feet of flexible space that can be used for exhibits, meetings and banquets. The expansion will also provide new loading docks, an improved vehicular entrance, and a climate-controlled connection to the second level of the existing convention center. About the Tour Tour participants will be privileged to see the construction of the building’s foundation and the installation of structural steel with the bridge concourse, which will connect to the existing convention center. To complement the tour, attendees will also sit for a presentation about the design-build process and the unique challenges that the ACC Expansion present. Benefits of the Project With this expansion, the ACC will be able to: 1. Retain existing business and capture larger meetings and conventions that the ACC currently cannot accommodate due to a lack of meeting space.2. Maximize occupancy by holding concurrent conventions. With an expanded convention center, the ACC will have room to hold multiple large events simultaneously, or have one event being set up while another event is breaking down.3. Replace Car Park 1 - a parking structure in need of significant repair. The ongoing maintenance effort to keep Car Park 1 operational has been increasing for several years. Surveys conducted by structural engineers on a semi-annual basis show a steady increase in number of slab crack repairs, as well as column support, spall repairs, and lack of ceiling height to allow for seismic retrofitting.4. Capitalize on economic and fiscal benefits. The total measurable tax revenue to the city is estimated to be $9.5 million annually or $112 million over a 10-year operating period.5. Create jobs - An estimated 1,860 jobs during construction will be created and 2,043 new jobs will be supported annually For more information visit http://accexpansion.com/ Please contact Chuck K.
