Megen has had the privilege of working on multiple renovations at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, the second largest meeting facility in Greater Cincinnati. We served as design+builder on the 60,000 SF renovation of the first floor of the convention center, consisting of refreshes to the lobby, exhibit halls, and restrooms. Updates in the exhibit hall and lobby included new painting and carpeting, LED lighting systems, fabricated architectural features, and resurfacing of operable partitions. Restroom upgrades included ceramic flooring and wall tiles, countertops, and hands-free faucets, toilets and hand dryers. We completed all renovations on time and on budget over a four-month period, while the Convention Center continued events and operations.

A few years later, we served as general contractor to convert a 5,300 SF interior ballroom into a 421-seat theater-style auditorium/lecture hall space. This modern training center consisted of a fixed auditorium with raised seating, theatrical lighting, a/v technology and large projection screens. Construction included installation of a two-story digital wall with capabilities to display a combination of videos, images and graphics. Once again, we worked with NKYCC to schedule construction around times when the owner’s clients needed quiet for their seminars, training and events. By proactively addressing issues, we overcame budget and scheduling challenges to deliver a quality project on schedule and within budget. The new space allows Northern Kentucky Convention Center to serve their clients and the greater Cincinnati community for training needs.

“This was the first opportunity I have had to undertake a project of this size and scope. Your team walked me through each step of this process with grace and understanding. I appreciate your guidance and professionalism more than I can express. Coming in on time and under budget was amazing and has certainly set the bar for all future work.”
