CINCINNATI CONVENTION CENTER
This month, Convention Center partnerships made headlines with the news that a new Naming Rights Agreement is in the works for the reimagined facility and is expected to be announced before the building reopens. Additionally, altafiber was named the Convention Center’s official technology partner, providing 10-gigabit, diverse, fiber-enabled Dedicated Internet and Wi-Fi service via 28 miles of Cat6A cable installed throughout the building.
Construction crews continued progress on finishing work at the reimagined convention center including, tiling, painting, drywalling, and installing terrazzo flooring. Overhead mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work moved forward, followed by ceiling installation throughout the building. On the convention center’s exterior, both façade and roof work continued to push toward completion.
At Elm Street Plaza, the spaces design is coming into focus as crews continued installing pavers across the new hardscape area and wrapped up work on the interactive fountain which will be on for the public to enjoy in warmer weather months. Crews installed the new LED display on the west side of the 84.51° building overlooking the plaza and are currently wrapping the electrical work before the screen turns on officially this fall.

Foundation construction is now in progress which will continue for several weeks before wrapping up later this fall. Additionally, crews are continued to do utility work, which included installing the detention system and tying the project’s utilities into the sanitary manholes along Findlay Street.
