The construction team continues to make good progress on the demolition phase of the convention center, focusing on both the exterior and interior of the building. Earlier this month, crews removed the skywalk over Sixth Street and started demolition work on the building’s main entrance at the corner of Fifth and Elm streets. With all materials received and prep work complete, the building’s roof replacement is now underway. On the interior, crews are continuing architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system demolition work. Concrete masonry unit walls are going up for the new food and beverage service alcoves in the first floor exhibit halls.
