About The Project
This lakefront project is the realization of a design first proposed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 for the City of Madison. As the project manager, Isthmus principal Peter Rott, then with Taliesin Architects, headed up a joint venture team that provided all design services. Rott’s follow-up responsibilities included the rooftop fountain and the skywalk/elevator addition that connects the center to the adjacent hotel. 1995 Project cost: $75,000,000. Monona Terrace Community Convention Center is a LEED certified facility, the first convention center in the country to gain LEED certification.

- Special Event Decorations
- Roof Garden Furnishings
- Signature Carpet Upgrade
