class=\"size-regular\">The very earliest convention centers\u2014exquisite, soaring amalgams of art and technology designed to showcase innovations in the most innovative way possible\u2014were some of history\u2019s great buildings, like the Crystal Palace in London (1851) and the Palais de l\u2019Industrie in Paris (1855). But over the years, convention centers became something far more banal: functionalist, energy-sucking megabuildings, simultaneously turning their back on and gobbling up their cities while forcing their attendees to endure generic spaces, with little natural light, endless and confusing corridors, and flexible spaces that never feel right no matter how you flex them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">But increased competition and tighter urban constraints have forced long-needed innovation. A good example is <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////lmnarchitects.com///" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LMN<\/a>\u2019s recent addition to <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////seattleconventioncenter.com///" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seattle\u2019s Convention Center<\/a>, known as the Summit, a structure that bills itself as one of the world\u2019s first high-rise convention centers. Located in the middle of Seattle\u2019s narrow downtown, the Summit uses its vertical orientation to its advantage, adding energy, speeding up circulation, and opening up space for creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">For years, the city had been turning away lucrative convention business, unable to accommodate demand with its Arch building (2010), which had been expanded in phases but remained landlocked by downtown\u2019s dense grid. Unlike most convention centers, which are built on the periphery of urban cores, Seattle had nowhere to expand outward. Instead, they looked up. The four-city-block site that would become the Summit had been a transit tunnel staging area, a bus transfer station, and then a long-vacant lot. The challenge was making something that felt like an authentic part of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//04//SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7.jpg/" alt=\"Interior convention center space with expansive windows and city views\" class=\"wp-image-116135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-7-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Tim Griffith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Summit Connects Inside and Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The 1.5 million-square-foot edifice, hosting six stacked levels of convention function, is all about connection. Visitors aren\u2019t lost in cavernous hallways or isolated from the city\u2014every floor is designed to facilitate engagement, both within the event and with the surrounding urban environment via movement, visibility, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">\u201cYou\u2019re literally bringing people closer together,\u201d LMN principal Leo da Costa explained. Floor openings, atriums, open stairs and escalators, and expansive windows create an intuitive flow, eliminating the disorientation common in traditional convention centers. \u201cYou\u2019ve been to those before, where you don\u2019t know where you are or where you\u2019re going,\u201d he said. Summit is instead dominated by natural light, clear sightlines, and an openness that encourages exploration. Meeting rooms are positioned with access to daylight and city views. Even interior spaces have windows that look into pre-function areas, allowing glimpses of the city beyond. The facility also takes advantage of Seattle\u2019s pedestrian culture, allowing visitors to walk between the new and old buildings rather than relying on shuttle buses. \u201cIt\u2019s a new way of thinking about making a convention center in a city,\u201d said LMN partner Mark Reddington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//04//SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2.jpg/" alt=\"Convention center hallway with wood ceiling detail\" class=\"wp-image-116136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Tim Griffith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left size-regular\"><a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//products//3-top-questions-answered-about-specifying-sustainable-wood-in-the-u-s///">Wood<\/a>, sourced regionally, is a major part of the design\u2014connecting deeply to the Pacific Northwest. \u201cWe really wanted to create something that speaks to the place,\u201d da Costa said. Salvaged timber from demolished buildings on-site was repurposed into railings and lobby accents; ballroom panels were made from logs that once floated in Pacific Northwest waters, carrying the marks of mollusks that had burrowed into the wood. The Hillclimb, an open, multi-story vertical passage through the building that serves as both a circulation and social hub, features Madrona wood, a native species that extends from British Columbia to Northern California. \u201cNone of it is super slick or corporate-looking,\u201d Reddington said. \u201cIt\u2019s crafted, and we wanted to make that visible.

The street-level Mixing Zone serves as a gathering spot, blending public art, retail, and social engagement. The Hillclimb\u2019s cantilevered edge over the sidewalk, with its mirrored soffit, reflects the street life below, pulling the outside world into the architecture itself. \u201cWhen you walk down from Capitol Hill, you see the reflections of the art and the people,\u201d da Costa explained. \u201cIt brings the street into the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The public art program features work from 26 artists, many from historically marginalized communities, from large-scale installations to subtle interventions that guide visitors through the space. One of the most distinctive pieces is a 180-foot-long chandelier, composed of wood and perforated panels designed to mimic the cellular structure of Pacific Northwest trees, casting intricate shadows across the floors below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//04//SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5.jpg/" alt=\"Convention center conference room with round tables and presentation screens\" class=\"wp-image-116138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Image-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Tim Griffith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built for Sustainability\u2014and Economic Impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The unique setting wouldn\u2019t have been possible without bold structural engineering by <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.mka.com///">Magnusson Klemencic Associates<\/a> (MKA). The Hillclimb\u2019s ability to mingle with the city is facilitated by a hybrid system of steel trusses and cantilevered supports that transfer loads back into the main building. The glass curtain wall enhances the sense of openness while serving as a structural diaphragm, reinforcing the stability of the cantilevered space. And the core of the stacked building consists of long-span trusses that support the exhibit hall and flex hall, two of the largest column-free spaces in the convention center. These trusses, running both through the exhibit halls and even the parking garage, create structural efficiency while maintaining the large, open spaces necessary for major events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Certified <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.usgbc.org//leed/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LEED Platinum<\/a>\u2014one of only three convention centers in the world to achieve this distinction\u2014the building features a radiant heating and cooling system that conditions only the lower occupied zones of its massive spaces. Photovoltaic panels on the roof generate renewable energy, while a rainwater harvesting system collects and filters stormwater, storing it in large tanks for reuse in landscaping irrigation and restroom facilities. The 14,000-square-foot garden terrace provides a striking outdoor event area with views of the historic Paramount Theatre and Camlin Hotel, and also helps regulate the building\u2019s temperature and manage stormwater runoff. The native and water-efficient landscaping reduces the need for irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//04//SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan.jpg/" alt=\"Summit Building site plan\" class=\"wp-image-116139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SCC-Summit-Building_Site-Plan-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy LMN Architects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Two years after its opening, Summit has proven its value not just as an event space, but as a catalyst for urban-scale reconnection. It\u2019s helped, at long last, start to knit together Capitol Hill, First Hill, and downtown, bringing a sense of place to what was a blank and disorienting experience over the I-5 Freeway. And since opening, it has generated an estimated $558 million in economic impact, according to the Seattle Convention Center (SCC). \u201cWe built this to drive business for the city, and it\u2019s doing exactly that,\u201d said Jeff Blosser, retired CEO of the SCC. \u201cHotels, restaurants, and local businesses are seeing record activity, and we\u2019re now attracting events that never would have considered Seattle before.\u201d Combined with the Arch building, it\u2019s allowed SCC to host multiple large conventions simultaneously, eliminating scheduling bottlenecks that often kept away large shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The building is starting to inspire other cities to rethink their own facilities. \u201cWe\u2019ve had visitors from nearly every major convention center in the U.S. and Canada,\u201d notes Reddington, who adds that Houston, Austin, and Salt Lake City are all considering vertical expansions. \u201cIt\u2019s no longer just about maximizing exhibit space\u2014it\u2019s about creating a dynamic, connected experience that enhances the city around it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">\u201cIt sells itself,\u201d adds Blosser. \u201cOnce people are in the building they\u2019re like, \u2018Oh my gosh, we\u2019ve got to book this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
