Philly Makes Way for CC Expansion with Building Demolition

The first stage of Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion kicked off Aug. 15 when officials demolished a building across the street from the existing center to make way for the expansion.

The expansion, which is slated to open in July 2010, will bring the center’s function space up to 1 million square feet and will house 541,000 square feet of exhibit space and a 60,000-square-foot ballroom.
