Convention Center and Plaza
Date

Description
"The design of the downtown Convention Center was approved by the City Plan Commission Monday with the recommendation that the exterior walls be of precast concrete panels with a ribbed-face finish. The architects for the project, Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum and Jenkins-Fleming, had proposed either concrete or metal panels for the exterior walls. Norman Murdoch, director of the commission, said he felt that ribbed-faced concrete would be far more attractive, and he strongly favored it if costs could be kept within the construction budget. The Convention Center will feature a column-free 240,000 square feet of convention and exhibition space, the equivalent of five football fields in size."
