At the $500-million Moscone Center Expansion site in San Francisco, crews are racing to complete a major component of the project’s second phase—the east half of the Moscone South building.

According to Keith Boswell, partner with SOM, the expansion will maximize the available footprint, create light-filled interior public spaces and boost the facility’s connection to the surrounding urban fabric using pedestrian-friendly spaces, outdoor terraces and a more open and transparent facade.
