“Hot on the heels of last week’s South by Southwest—Austin’s premier music, film, and media festival—the city has revealed renderings for a new convention center designed by Seattle-based LMN Architects in collaboration with Page, a Texas firm. The building will replace the existing Austin Convention Center with more substantial facilities, including over 600,000 square feet of rentable event space, 70,000 square feet of public outdoor space, and an underground network of exhibit halls and loading docks. With its $1.6 billion price tag, the project constitutes a massive investment in Austin’s events infrastructure and signifies the continued growth of the city, which is nearing one million residents.”
