Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates and Gillies Stransky Brems Smith Architects designed the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Roller Coaster designer Kent Seko designed the steel truss structure. It was completed in 1995.
The $93 million project has 47,800 m2 of exhibit space, 15,200 m2 of meeting space, and a 4,200 m2 ballroom. EDA Architects recently expanded the building to a LEED gold standard, with 10% recycled materials, natural lighting, and water efficient landscaping. The original Salt Palace was built in 1899 by Richard Kletting.
