Palm Springs, CA
In 2005, the Palm Springs Convention Center in California underwent a major expansion, increasing its total area to 261,000 square feet. This $34 million construction project added 120,000 square feet of flexible exhibit space, a 20,000-square-foot ballroom, 19 breakout rooms, and an 18,000-square-foot lobby with stunning panoramic mountain views. The expansion highlighted the importance of precise construction management and detailed planning to meet the growing needs of the convention center while adhering to a strict timeline and budget.
The expansion was expertly managed to ensure the Palm Springs Convention Center remained operational throughout the construction process. Key to the success of the project was the seamless integration of new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems with the existing infrastructure. This careful coordination not only improved the facility’s functionality but also positioned the convention center to effectively host a wide range of large-scale events, reinforcing the value of experienced construction management in complex, high-profile projects.
