About The Project
The 565,000-square-foot expansion will increase the BMO Centre’s total floor space to over one million square feet, more than double the centre’s existing capacity, transforming it into Western Canada’s largest convention facility with more than 100,000 square feet of new exhibition space, 38 new meeting rooms, two new ballrooms and a central gathering space that will feature Canada’s largest indoor fireplace. The Calgary Stampede and Calgary Municipal Land Corporation unveiled the design for the Tier 1 convention venue in 2020, and the project has made significant progress since, with the installation of 10,000 metric tonnes of steel that comprise the building’s impressive structure.
