CINCINNATI CONVENTION CENTER
Excitement continues to build as the reimagined convention center nears completion. Crews remained hard at work this past month, making progress across the entire project site—including Elm Street Plaza and the Convention Center Garage.
Inside the convention center, work continued with drywall installation and painting, as crews cleaned existing carpet, progressed with new carpet installation, and began ceiling work in the renovated Queen City Ballroom (formerly the junior ballroom). On the building’s exterior, the installation of aluminum composite material panels advanced along the eastern façade, roof replacement work continued, and efforts on the new Cincinnati LED sign remained underway.
Elm Street Plaza came to life with the installation of additional greenery and landscaping. Crews also laid additional pavers for the plaza, poured surfaces for additional walking paths, wrapped up electrical work on the LED display on the west side of the 84.51° building, and installed light poles throughout the plaza. Nearby, underground plumbing and electrical work continued inside the Convention Center Garage, as crews began interior repair and restoration work on its top two levels.

PAYCOR HEADQUARTERS
Opening day for tenants at Paycor Headquarters draws near, as construction crews continued wrapping up work on the interior spaces this past month. All finishes and furniture were installed inside Salazar, and the restaurant received its Certificate of Occupancy. Carpeting and painting are nearly complete inside the Paycor office space, and office furniture has begun arriving and being assembled. At Flight Club, a darts-focused bar and restaurant on the building’s first floor, equipment for the kitchen and bar was installed.

FINDLAY COMMUNITY CENTER
In October, construction at the Findlay Community Center progressed, with concrete shallow foundations now complete across the project site. The roller rink’s foundation block walls have been installed and crews continued constructing others across the site, particularly in the gym and pool areas, with waterproofing and damp-proofing underway along Vine Street. The slab-on-grade for the gym was poured, and preparation began for upcoming pours in the locker room and other areas. Underground utility work, including plumbing and electrical systems, continued across the project site, and the installation of the elevator shaft is scheduled to begin soon.

CROSSROAD HEALTH CENTER
At Crossroad Health Center, this month marked the completion of concrete work for the first floor of 1715 Republic Street—the main project site. Framing continued, as well as plumbing and electrical rough-ins. On the second floor, crews finished framing, installing door frames and insulation, and both electrical and plumbing rough-ins. On the roof, crews completed the Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) installation. Old roof curbs were also removed and replaced, and the installation of new mechanical units began.
At the historic clock tower, tuckpointing and masonry repairs were completed, and exterior painting wrapped up. Site work also continued, and crews removed all sidewalks around the project site, which will be replaced in future construction phases.
