Broward County Conv. Ctr Amph.

Stretching Possibilities: Greater Fort Lauderdale's New PTFE Tensile Amphitheater by Birdair Takes Center Stage!

Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL USA
Fabric Type: PTFE Fiberglass
Market Sector: Entertainment / Leisure
Project Size: 1850 sq.ft.
Architect: Stantec
Engineer: DeSimone
Owner: Broward County
General Contractor: Balfour Beatty
Completion Date: August 31, 2025

As part of the $1.3 billion expansion of the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, Birdair will soon begin construction on a new 1,850 sq. ft. PTFE tensile membrane amphitheater. Designed in a distinctive clam shell shape, the stage canopy will provide a striking venue for outdoor concerts and community events, complementing the newly revitalized waterfront park and plaza space. Birdair’s comprehensive scope of work includes the design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of the amphitheater’s steel support structure, PTFE-coated fiberglass membrane, and associated hardware. Nearby, visitors are welcomed by a 5,000 sq. ft. conical fabric structure at the convention center entrance—an iconic feature originally constructed by Birdair in 1991.
