The stunning new Oklahoma City Convention Center is a $288 million publicly funded project that opened January 2021. The state-of-the-art building is located east of Scissortail Park along Robinson Blvd. This center is 500,000 square feet and includes a 200,730 square foot exhibit hall, which is divisible into four halls. The 29,874 sq. ft. ballroom has 5,000 sq. ft pre-function space and terrace overlooking Scissortail Park. There are 27 meeting rooms and nearly 45,000 sq. ft. of meeting space that includes 9,726 square foot Junior Ballroom. The Convention Center’s design was heavily influenced by its relationship to the surrounding environment. Level 1 relates to the warm earth, Level 2 connects to the horizon line, and Level 3 takes cues from the colorful Oklahoma Sky. Strategic use of color and materiality supported this concept throughout the interior design. Narduli’s “Virtual Sky” will grace the glass atriums facing Scissortail Park across the street. The artwork evokes Oklahoma’s beautiful skies and the state’s links to aviation history. Slender, sleek titanium tubes, suspended by aircraft cables in each of the two multi-story atriums. will capture the gleaming lights . The gleaming forms will capture the natural light pouring in from the downtown skyline.
