Austin Convention Center Expansion – Architectural QA/QC

Highlight

The City of Austin is embarking on a $1.6 billion project to redevelop and expand the existing Austin Convention Center. This initiative aims to nearly double the facility’s rentable space from 365,000 to 620,000 square feet, enhancing its capacity to host major events. Designed by a joint venture of LMN Architects and Page Southerland Page, the new center will feature vibrant public plazas, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and open-air terraces, emphasizing street-level openness and accessibility. Notably, the project is set to be the world’s first zero-carbon-certified convention center, aligning with Austin’s commitment to sustainability.  The General Contractor is a joint venture with JE Dunn and Turner Construction.
