This $181-million, 500,000-sq-ft convention center is the largest public building project in Oklahoma City’s history and the centerpiece of the MAPS 3 capital improvements program. 

In addition to meeting spaces and exhibit halls, the building includes kitchen facilities, office space, loading docks, recycling areas and a titanium/LED public art experience called Virtual Sky. 

Five other projects were also being constructed near the center, requiring close coordination with those teams. Many high-end elements developed long lead times and had sensitive installation concerns such as the multipurpose floor boxes. COVID-19 delayed production and delivery, but preplanning allowed the team to maintain the schedule and deliver the project in December 2020.
