Thompson Turner Construction was hired by the City of Columbia to build the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, located in the downtown area of South Carolina’s historic state capital of Columbia, a busy urban environment.

The 142,500 SF facility was designed and built with the community in mind. The Convention Center includes key spaces such as a 24,700 SF, column-free exhibit hall exhibition hall, an 17,135 SF ballroom, meeting rooms, entry pavilion, full service kitchens, and public concourse space.
