Los Angeles Convention Center
The Los Angeles Convention Center in Downtown Los Angeles is one of the most efficiently designed and technologically advanced convention and exhibition facilities in the world. Two exhibit areas are flanked by 160-foot pavilions (West Tower and South Tower). The pavilions and exhibition halls are joined by a link of meeting halls hovering above Pico Boulevard. Charles Luckman and Associates directed the design of the first building stage of the Convention Center, completed between 1969 and 1971. Subsequent changes and expansions were completed in 1981, 1993 and 1997. Now 870,000 square feet, the Los Angeles Convention Center is the largest on the west coast and one of the largest exhibition halls in the world. LACC is the first convention center in the U.S. to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) award.
