The renovation of the 86,000 square foot McKimmon Center included updating the institutional finishes of the common areas to reflect the hospitality use of the conference center. The reception desk was custom designed and incorporated rich woods, glass and chrome accents. Structural steel columns were retrofitted with covers so that they became architectural features within the space. Also, the carpet was custom colored and new furniture and fabric were selected. Phase II involved the renovation and updating of the finishes within the 5500 square feet of common corridor.
