District 6

Public Works worked with the San Francisco Tourism Improvement District Management Corporation (TID) to implement a series of tenant improvements at the Moscone Convention Center’s South, North and West buildings. The project not only upgraded the facilities, but employed a branding strategy to enhance convention visitors’ memories of San Francisco. The branding vision, as developed by HOK Architects, showcases our diverse cultures and communities within the natural beauty of Northern California, using a creative, colorful, bright and modern palette.
 

The renovation priorities include making the branch seismically safe, fully accessible, and technologically updated. Both the community and staff areas were renovated to improve the functonality of the space. The renovation included the installation of an elevator and new public restrooms. The addition of a second floor provides more public space with views of the City skyline.
