Denver’s expanded Colorado Convention Center officially opened on time earlier this month.
The facility now offers 584,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, 100,000 square feet of meeting space, a 50,000-square-foot ballroom, a 35,000-square-foot ballroom and a 5,000-seat auditorium.
With four-and-a-half acres of glass looking out on the city, light is the center’s most notable new design element.
The accompanying 1,100-room Hyatt Convention Center Hotel currently is under construction across the street; it will open next December.
On the drawing board: a 50-story tower that will house a Four Seasons Hotel on the first 16 floors and Four Seasons Private Residences above.
