Program Overview
Duke Energy Convention Center’s $200 million overhaul is in the works. We are activating a Convention District that is in dire need of vibrant life for our community.
The revamped center will be able to draw national associations, trade shows, and corporate conventions in the medical, technology, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical fields, some of which have already visited the city, according to Visit Cincy. Such conventions will deliver 1,200 to 2,000 patrons to our city.
The initial, 2022 renderings of the rehabilitated convention center featured dramatic, swooping fins symbolizing Cincinnati’s “seven hills,” as well as a nearly all-glass facade. 3CDC told Moody Nolan to think big, regardless of cost. Moody Nolan focused on the five inclines that used to bring people from the basin to neighborhoods such as Price Hill and Mount Adams. The boxy design of today’s convention center leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to natural light, it's a very “closed-in and dark building.” We are bringing a tremendous amount of natural light in along with modern lighting that will be fixed in the overhauled center.
The plan calls for the creation of a new, park-like area on the east side of Elm Street across from the convention center, the site where the Millennium Hotel once stood. The park will function as a hybrid of public and outdoor convention space. It will include a pavilion, greenery, public restrooms, and a dog park. A 22-foot wide stretch of pavement will remain where Elm Street currently is so that emergency vehicles can access the street, but otherwise the street will be closed to motorists. The city will continue to own the Elm Street right-of-way that will be vacated.
Tour leaders will discuss the motivating forces of the site and facility with construction in progress and will prompt group discussion after the tour.
NOTE: Attendees must bring their own hard hats, safety glasses, and firm fitting, closed-toed footwear.
March 10 is the registration deadline.
