Convention Center Construction

Convention centers are designed to serve multiple events with the flexibility to meet the unique needs of each event. Your convention center should be a landmark facility that attracts world-class events to your community.

We understand the high level of skill, knowledge, and expertise required to undertake these projects and the key influences on revenue generation that are truly advantageous to project stakeholders. We bring the creativity, technical expertise, and skilled professionals to help you address key elements such as a large exhibition area or grand ballroom, an auditorium, flexible meeting space, state-of-the-art acoustics and audio visual capabilities. A project of this magnitude is a tremendous undertaking, and Mortenson is prepared to help you make the right decisions to achieve your goals.

Our successful track record speaks to the ability to bring projects in on time and on budget. You can be assured our team will bring innovative ideas and solutions in order to deliver the best building experience possible.
