Project Description

The 565,000 sq. ft. expansion has more than doubled the size of the BMO Convention and Trade Centre, transforming it into western Canada’s largest convention venue and creating new spaces for conferences, meetings, exhibitions and consumer shows. The Calgary Stampede and Calgary Municipal Land Corporation unveiled the project design in 2020. The expanded venue opened in June 2024, following several years of planning and construction. It ranked 91 on the Top 100 Largest Canadian Infrastructure Projects list during construction at $500 million.

TULLOCH worked with Walters Inc., providing construction survey support during the steel erection.
