Indianapolis Move Management Blog for Relocation Strategies

Relocation Strategies, Inc. completes Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Package for the New Indiana Convention Center to be installed this Fall.  Indianapolis will soon house one of the nation’s top 20 largest convention center complexes.  The combination of the Lucas Oil Stadium and an expanded Indiana Convention Center enables Indianapolis to offer 3.4 million square feet of exhibit and meeting space.  The combined new space will make the Indiana Convention Center the nation’s 16th largest, bringing it up the charts from its current position at 32nd largest.

The Indiana Convention Center will have 566,600 square feet of exhibit space. The new exhibit halls are contiguous with the existing halls. Lucas Oil Stadium provides another 183,000 square feet, and will be connected to the center via walkway.

Lucas Oil Stadium, with 63,000 permanent seats, features a retractable roof that allows for multiple uses in addition to serving as the home of the 2006 Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts.  The RCA Dome closed in April 2008 and has been demolished.  The Indiana Convention Center expansion will sit on the RCA Dome footprint.

“Under Ratio Architects’ direction, we were hired as the lead team member for the specification of the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) for the Indiana Convention Center Expansion in Indianapolis.  We subsequently hired Relocation Strategies, a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) firm, to assist us in the specification writing documentation and installation of all Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) to ultimately be placed within the new facility.   Although the work is not yet complete, we have been very satisfied with the progress to date from Relocation Strategies Inc and look forward to a smooth installation as well.”
