San Diego Convention Center

The world-renowned San Diego Convention Center, located between downtown San Diego and the Pacific Ocean, was recently named one of the best designed centers in the world by Expo magazine.

Location: San Diego, California USA
Fabric Type: PTFE Fiberglass
Market Sector: Commercial
Project Size: 108,000 sq.ft.
Architect: Arthur Erickson Architects; Los Angeles, CA
Engineer: Horst Berger Partners; New York, NY
Owner: San Diego Unified Port District; San Diego, CA
General Contractor: Tudor-Saliba-Perini, JV
Completion Date: August 11, 1989

Each year, the convention center hosts hundreds of events, conventions and trade shows, so a visually intriguing design was essential.

Birdair's PTFE-coated glass-fiber fabric offers a unique design solution representative of ocean waves, covering 8,400 square-meters of the structure's center, serving as an impressive aesthetic addition to the city. The span of the membrane is 91.5 m while the height of the masts (that help to aid in the tensioning of the fabric) are 27 m in length.
