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

The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) opened its doors in 1976 as a 350,000-square-foot exhibit space. Since opening, the GWCC has gone through major expansions in 1985, 1992, and 2002 to meet the needs of growing conventions and special events. From its beginnings as a single exhibition hall (Building A), the GWCCA campus now includes multiple exhibit halls, the 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, International Plaza, multiple parking decks, the College Football Hall of Fame, Junior Achievement Discovery Center and the 3.9-million- square-foot convention center. Project Delivery Method - The delivery method for this Project will be Design-Build. The Owner will contract with a General Contractor/Construction Manager, as the lead, who has teamed with a Design professional, in order to perform the Design-Build Services. Project Budget - The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) or construction cost of the Project is estimated at $25,850,000.00 (this amount includes cost of the design professional services component of the design-build team for the design and construction phase administration services). The final SCL may be revised by the Owner due to final programmatic requirements, funding availability or other circumstances. Project Schedule - It is anticipated the Design-Builder services will commence in September of 2022. Design phase and preconstruction services are expected to begin immediately upon execution of the contract. The start of construction is contingent on the availability of funding (All of the dates above are estimates which are subject to change.) Work will not be permitted above spaces where events are in session and on the last day of event movein. Adjacent spaces including adjacent event spaces and public concourse areas may also be affected if noise will impact events. Since the event schedule is subject to frequent updates, a firm event schedule is not possible to provide at this time. Within this schedule context, it is the GWCCA's desire to expedite completion of the project and would encourage consideration of working on multiple areas of the facility simultaneously as a means of shortening the overall schedule.
