“At 1.5 million square feet, The Summit building is the second largest LEED Platinum building in the U.S. and largest LEED Platinum convention center. The world’s first high-rise convention center, program is stacked vertically instead of the typical sprawling horizontal convention center, offering a new model for the typology that centers on engaging community at all scales to connect people to the urban core. The building redefines convention centers, offers a shift in the events industry and seamlessly integrates with the adjacent city neighborhoods. The project emphasizes sustainability while promoting craft and art by local emerging and established artists.”
