"If you take a look at the exterior and the façade, that came from conversations with community members, the lighting from the outside came from conversations from members from the City, and if you look at what’s happened in the exhibition hall, that came from ideas from stakeholders that want to utilize the facility.
ISG did an incredible job by taking all the stories and ideas and making them real for the people that are so vested with this convention center."
