Kansas City, 2010

The expansion of Bartle Hall was a significant technical challenge. Construction of the additional convention space was built over a continuously open six-lane freeway, (Interstate 670), which runs underneath the convention center.  Construction required the installation of four, 300-foot (90 m) pylons to support the facility’s roof.  The result was the creation of the largest, column-free convention environment in the world.
