In Kansas City, New CMMS Proves Just Right For The Long Hall
One of the sites that visitors to Kansas City, MO, remember most is the distinctive "Sky Stations" standing 400 ft above H. Roe Bartle Hall, the downtown convention center's central facility and the city's largest convention/event center. Visible for up to two miles, these unique sculptures are the most distinctive symbols of the city's convention and event center offerings, which altogether include 1 million sq ft of exhibit space, 58 meeting rooms, and three arenas with seating for 30,000.
For the past two years, computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) from software provider Eagle Technology, Inc. (Mequon, WI) have helped the maintenance staff of Bartle Hall keep the facility in top condition for the millions of visitors who attend events there every year. With 388,000 sq ft of continuous, column-free space, Bartle's main exhibit area is approximately the size of eight football fields and can accommodate 2,000 10- by 10-ft booths.
