Charlotte hires consultant to guide $100 million Convention Center renovation
The CRVA has proposed a multi-year $100 million makeover of the Charlotte Convention Center.
Charlotte City Council approved a $1.6 million contract on Monday for the schematic design and detailed cost estimates of the renovation. TVS North Carolina, a firm affiliated with Atlanta-based architecture and design firm Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS Design), has been selected for the job, according to the CRVA. They’ve designed more than 80 convention centers, including in Washington, D.C., Orange County, Calif., and Charlotte’s convention center.
“This work...has been a long process,” said CRVA chief executive Tom Murray. “We had some broad ranges of what that would cost, but knew that needed further refinement.”
