為了實現大規模擴建工程與現有城市文脈的相融合，TVS與城市規劃委員會、街道負責部門、再開發負責部門、工業發展公司、以及城市與州歷史委員會共同努力，希望在現有的基礎上，在中心城核心地區打造高適用性會展中心。經多方努力，最終沿北布羅德大街建成了引人注目的創新型建筑，更增強了城市藝術大街的獨創感。

從中心向布羅德大街的擴展，也促進了原有建筑的復興，同時，這一具有現代感的前瞻性設計理念，也定義了布羅德大街中心的新面貌。建筑的內部形成一個廣闊的公共空間，隔著透明的墻面，建筑內部的畫面與外面的街景交織在一起。TVS采用的建筑材料主要有花崗巖、石灰巖、玻璃、鋼筋等，與其獲得國家AIA獎的設計基本相同，但此次對這些材料進行了創新搭配，構建實用性綜合體，外觀協調統一。

With the goal of integrating this large expansion into the urban context, tvsdesign worked with the City Planning Commission, Department of Streets, Redevelopment Authority, Industrial Development Corporation and City and State Historic Commissions to help create the site needed within the heart of Center City to expand the existing center. The solution presents a bold and dramatic new North Broad Street facade, while reinforcing the city’s important Avenue of the Arts initiative.

The expansion of the center onto Broad Street generates similar development to the revitalization caused by the original building while setting a contemporary, forward-looking design theme to define the center’s new presence on Broad Street. The internal organization of the buildings creates a grand public concourse that when viewed through a transparent facade, knit the activities of the building with those along the street. Materials - granite, limestone, glass, and steel - which tvsdesign gracefully combined in the original National AIA Award winning design, were used in similar, but new ways creating a unified complex of proper civic stature.
