Community/Recreation Centers : Palm Springs Convention Center Expansion   1  2    For the expansion of the Palm Springs Convention Center, we creatively transformed a primary existing steel moment frame into a free-spanning truss. This ensured the owner could expand the exhibit hall spaces to the East and add gathering spaces towards the Western mountain views while never losing the use of the existing exhibit hall. The Western entrance then became a dramatic pre-function area defined by stone pylons towering 50 feet tall supporting a sweeping curvilinear roof structure. This will increase meeting room space by 50,000s.f and exhibit space to 100,000 s.f. New facilities to be added include a warehouse, maintenance shops, a security command post, and additional parking. Our solution was in contrast to the original structural design, yet supported the design evolution and maintained the building's daily operations. Copyright © The Crosby Group. All Rights Reserved.
