This is the general plan as I understand it. Sink the new exhibit halls below street level, connect the grid and offer more open space and retail on surface level, and then build up a few floors, connecting the building again on levels 2+.
Everything I've seen has also incorporated additional towers on the site, all of which are unrelated to the CC itself but which might house city of Austin offices, etc. The collapse of DT office space demand, though, might change these plans in a major way. either way there are currently no concrete plans to look at yet. Hopefully they'll release this RFQ ASAP so we can see the expectations up close.
