Located in the heart of downtown Rochester, The Joseph A. Floreano Convention Center is a 100,000 sq. ft. event venue that hosts some of the area’s largest conferences, weddings, and trade shows.
The Customer Request
After being chosen as one of several development projects for the ROC the Riverway initiative, the Convention Center began facility updates including replacing the building’s original escalator units. To assist with these renovations, Boulter was brought on by the escalator manufacturer to remove and install six of the building’s largest units.
