Convention Center remake would include ‘picture frame outlook’ over Stonewall Street
A proposed $110 million renovation of the Charlotte Convention Center would include a new pedestrian walkway adjacent to the Lynx Blue Line.
A $110 million renovation of the Charlotte Convention Center would include a new pedestrian bridge next to the Lynx Blue Line, and a roughly 30-foot high “picture frame outlook” to give guests a view of Stonewall Street.
The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority does not plan to expand the footprint of the 22-year-old center. But the renovation project is designed to make the building more attractive to residents and convention guests, by remaking the Stonewall Street side with more windows.
In addition, the CRVA plans to create more smaller meeting space. The tourism authority said conventions have shifted away from wanting large exhibit hall space in favor of smaller rooms.
