The new convention center wraps around two historic structures, redeveloping these buildings for use as critical assets for the project as a whole.The massing of the new construction aligns with the street wall of the Ortiz House, limiting the overall height of the complex to just over 28 feet above Zaragoza Street. As all event spaces are “double-height” volumes requiring column-free spans, the complex will offer clear heights of 20 feet or more. Access points along the perimeter of the site are aligned to historic features such as San Agustin Cathedral, the La Posada Hotel and the Rio Grande
