The $200-million Raleigh Convention Center is built from a mix of traditional and unique materials: limestone, granite, buff-colored brick and glass. Located in downtown Raleigh, the facility’s design locates the center’s sizable service requirements and its large exhibit hall out of site, below grade and under two city streets.
The project was the largest building project ever attempted by the City of Raleigh and the County of Wake. More than 100 public meetings were facilitated by the design team during the project’s development.
