LOTS TO SEE AND DO, INSIDE AND OUT
Built in 1986, the Santa Clara Convention Center is located in the same complex as the Santa Clara TechMart business center, and across the street from the California’s Great America amusement park. The convention center itself offers a 3,199 seat theater, a 1,493-seat banquet hall, a 1,119-seat classroom and space for 111 exhibit booths. The latest expansion was the Mission City ballroom—adding 22,400 square feet of meeting and event space, with skylights and a glass wall to allow for beautiful, natural lighting.
The Santa Clara Convention Center participates in the Green initiative, and has been recognized as one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the nation. Current efforts include: Green Power Partnership level with the EPA; becoming a Green Power Partner with Silicon Valley Power to purchase clean energy; reducing waste by over 100 tons annually, becoming an eight-time Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) award-winner; and a comprehensive recycling program. Additional honors for the center include the Green Power Champion Certificate for purchasing 100% renewable wind and solar energy, and the Green Power Champion Corporate Half-Turbine Level award for committing to support the generation of 1,608-megawatt hours of renewable energy.
