The center also has 703,000 square feet for exhibitions and 52,000 square feet of ballroom space. The paper reports the Washington Convention Center Authority plans to use some space from the center's grand lobby for the additions, and to install a vertical "sky wall" system to drop dividers down from the ceiling to section off rooms.
