Lawrence Convention Center (DLLCC) is a convention, conference and exhibition building in downtown Pittsburgh in the U.S. commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is served by two exits on Interstate 579. The initial David L. Lawrence Convention Center was completed on the site on February 7, 1981, but as part of a renewal plan the new, completely redesigned center was opened in 2003 and funded in conjunction with nearby Heinz Field and PNC Park. It sits on the southern shoreline of the Allegheny River. It is the first LEED-certified convention center in North America and one of the first in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David L. Lawrence Convention Center. )〕 It is owned by the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County ==Abstract== In the early 1970s a site on the opposite side of Downtown Pittsburgh was considered for a modern convention center, on the shores of the Monongahela River. On September 20, 1971 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania failed to approve that location, and site work slowly began on the present site as the city and county submitted it to the commonwealth on December 10, 1974. There was a proposal in mid-1974 to locate the center at the then transitioning Penn Station.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=JFoqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=R1UEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7253%2C3559448〕 The center had its ceremonial groundbreaking on June 8, 1977.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=U3AjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=61cEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5484%2C2926877〕〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rn9IAAAAIBAJ&sjid=U20DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3383%2C1025242〕〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rn9IAAAAIBAJ&sjid=U20DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3656%2C1042187〕 On February 7, 1981 the original $35 million ($ million today) structure opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Mayor Richard Caliguiri, County Commissioner Tom Foerster and Governor Dick Thornburgh.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=lcUdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=51wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1536%2C2586201〕 After the Commonwealth approved funding for the redesigned center on February 3, 1999 Rafael Viñoly Architects, P.C. was chosen as the designer for the modern center on February 28, 1999. Viñoly along with Dewhurst MacFarlane & Partners and Goldreich Engineering P.C. constructed the $354 million ($ million today) riverfront landmark to contain of exhibit space ( of which is column-free), of additional exhibit space, a ballroom, 51 meeting rooms, two 250-seat lecture halls, teleconference and telecommunications capabilities and of retail space (currently in development). The architect, Viñoly, began the design with a goal in mind of achieving the status of a "green" building. In 2003, the building was awarded Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first such convention center in the U.S. and the largest "green" building in the world.〔 The current building replaced the former convention center of the same name that was constructed in 1981. The old convention center was and lacked a ballroom. All of the old building was demolished to make way for the current structure which was built on the same site. The building won the 2004 Supreme Award for structural engineering excellence from the Institution of Structural Engineers. The convention center is home to prominent conventions, such as Anthrocon, the (Pittsburgh RV Show ), (Pittsburgh Boat Show ), (Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show ), (Piratefest ), and the acclaimed (Pittsburgh International Auto Show ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David L.
