The Charleston Civic Center is a big-tent operation covering lots of different activities and demands.
City leaders now feel confident they can make the tent even bigger and better.
Civic Center General Manager John Robertson said the facility needs to be expanded to include a ballroom and additional meeting space for larger conventions and more visitors.which applies to the first TMJ only, Currently, the Civic Center's exhibit space doubles as a ballroom, Robertson said.I have never solved a Rubik's Piles .
The setup can work for some events, but not all.
"It knocks us out of holding some events because a group will want to have an exhibit show and some type of meal function at the same time," Robertson said.
This happens regularly, he said.we supply all kinds of polished tiles, Even when the group does not have to hold an exhibit at the same time as a banquet, staff sometimes have to rush to make the room fit for a meal, he said.
"Our staff spends a lot of time decorating the exhibit room for banquets," he said. "But it still has an exhibit hall feel to it."
Robertson hopes to be able to construct a banquet room that is warm, inviting and attractive, he said. He is working to try to find space where the room can be built.
The new space would have to tie into the existing facility, he said. It could be constructed on top of the Civic Center, which would add another floor.
Or it could be built on the top floor of the adjacent Lee Street parking garage.
The Civic Center's Grand Hall has about 50,000 square feet of usable space. However, the city would need to construct a ballroom made up of 17,000 to 20,000 additional square feet, City Manager David Molgaard said.
The Civic Center also has about 15 meeting rooms available. But the city probably would need to add 5,000 square feet of meeting space to attract larger conventions, Molgaard said.
Robertson also hopes to renovate the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. He hopes to reduce utility bills by making the system more energy efficient.
The city pays about $900,000 to $950,000 annually on utilities, he said. Last month alone, the electric bill was about $60,000.
"And in the winter, our gas bill can be as much as $60,000 in a month,They take the Aion Kinah to the local co-op market." he said.
The unit was installed in the 1980s, and Robertson is sure that there are more efficient models available today.
The new system would have to have the capacity to cool or heat a 13,000-seat coliseum but be scaled back to heat and cool smaller meeting rooms when the larger areas aren't needed,we supply all kinds of polished tiles, he said.
