Renovation of a conference / convention center in Tampa, Florida. Completed plans call for the renovation of a conference / convention center.

Construction at Tampa Convention Center in Downtown Tampa is moving forward quickly, as the center nears completion of its largest renovation project in history. The $38 million Capital Improvements Project features a new addition to the Tampa Convention Center, which includes 18 new waterfront meeting rooms over the Tampa Riverwalk. The project also includes upgrades to the Tampa Riverwalk outside of the Tampa Convention Center, such as new ADA ramps and environmentally-friendly LED lighting. The construction team is currently installing a metal ceiling above the Tampa Riverwalk and adding waterproofing materials. They are completing the framing of the new meeting rooms off the West Hall of the Tampa Convention Center, and will next add drywall, ceilings, and sprinkler piping. -------------------------------------------------------------- As of January 22, 2021, this project is starting January 2021. The duration of the project is dependent on the final programming details. As of November 11, 2020, a construction manager has been identified. Project is now in design and will be comprised of several projects with a GMP contract between the design/builder and the Owner. Construction start is dependent on unknown factors such as when the pandemic will allow full functioning of Center and when funding will be released. End date is tentatively 2023 but that is a soft timeline and may well extend later into the decade. Bidding will not be shared with planrooms. Interested parties should make sure they are prequalified with the Construction Manager to receive bid notifications on the various phases.
