Project: Three Story Addition
Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Type of Contract: Design Build
Project Description:
This project consists of a three-story addition, comprising 230,000 square feet of Exhibit Halls, Offices and Conference Areas, Ballrooms and Ancillary Support Facilities. This extensive project consisted of many challenges such as: relocating the existing roadway to accommodate construction traffic, temporarily filling in retention ponds to support staging areas, improving exterior to create a continuation of design as well as redesigning the southernmost entry to accommodate for a three-story covered entry and the reconfiguration of elevators, pedestrian bridge and roofing. Remembering that the precise demolition and merging of new buildings with the old ones yet maintaining operations is one of the most significant challenges to this unique project.
