Constant Improvements Are a Team Effort at Chicago’s Convention Center

January 16, 2019

According to Journal & Topics, as Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Executive Director, Christopher Stephens, walked through one of the ballrooms at the Rosemont convention center, he asked the gentleman cleaning the area, “What do you think about this carpet? Should we get new carpet?”

“Everyone is responsible for the success of the facility,” Stephens says.

New charcoal grays, reds and subdued blues harmoniously coexist around the venue and connect the interior and exterior color schemes. Other changes entering the new year include the introduction of LED lights around the venue, the redesign of concession stands and the remodeling of bathrooms.

As reported by Journal & Topics, one of the most recent changes at the convention center, according to Stephens, is the new carpet in the lobby of the convention center. He said it was time for the terrazzo floor to go, and carpet was a natural choice to reduce noise and “soften” the entrance hall.

“We are constantly thinking about new things and new ways to do business,” Stephens said. “We are constantly trying to raise the bar.”
