Components of potential BCEC growth (hotel, ballroom, exhibit hall, auditorium, and other uses) shall be guided by these principles:
Respectful Building Massing: Considerate of existing neighborhoods and the BCEC
User Driven Design: Based on feedback and survey data from meeting planner community
Appropriately Sized: To match projected market and program and for functionality
Discrete Elements: To allow phasing over time
“Campus”: Rather than a “mega-building”
Practical/Feasible: With respect to constructability and costs
Sustainable Design: Incorporate sustainable and energy efficient features
Technological Leadership: Continued focus on technological innovation & capabilities
Principles for Growth
