WSCC Addition
project description
The Washington State Convention Center Addition is adding 570,290 square feet of event space to its preexisting convention center. The project includes two co-development sites and will transform the equivalent of four blocks of the downtown streetscape. The design of the WSCC Addition prioritizes efficiency, connections with the surrounding neighborhoods, open and engaging public spaces, and a unique experience that embodies Seattle’s special qualities. The Addition will also be a leader in sustainability and will seek LEED Gold certification.
The WSCC Addition was awarded to Scott Coatings from a new joint venture project between Clark Construction and Lease Crutcher Lewis.
There have been two major challenges with the execution of this project. The first is that the building is not only large but is also being built with a new approach from this joint venture. The second is that the painting of the OTS and structural steel on the dance floor erected 30′ in the air provided a level of difficulty that requires a lot of organization between the GC and subcontractors involved. Both of these challenges are being approached with great diligence and attention to detail.
This project is still in progress and is expected to be completed in 2022.
