Client Advisory BoardRecommendations • Portions of the building are becoming worn & dated. The convention center needs continued refreshment & renovation. • The WD2 to the WF area is the least desirable. The overlook just isn’t very nice (it smells bad). • Need more food outlets in North/South that aren’t on exhibit floor. Keep people in the building; there has to be more options available (bars/restaurants). • Need outdoor open spaces for events or lunches, terraces, etc. • More seating by the food outlets and in public areas. • Meeting Room Chairs – look dated. • Airport flight board especially from departure standpoint for OIA (have BAGS set up for baggage check in). Permanent Baggage station • Board room for Executive use, sound and screen. • Visible recycling bins and signs.
