Designed by internationally recognized architect Peter Eisenman, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, with its unique spaces, sharp angles, wide spotlights and spacious walkways is a bold landmark luring millions of visitors each year.
The modern design of every meeting room, exhibit hall and common area is as vibrant as the downtown neighborhood right outside.
The SMG-managed Greater Columbus Convention Center is located in the middle of a vibrant city. The area is alive with cultural activities, arts, sports and entertainment – all within walking distance. As the winner of multiple Prime Site and Inner Circle Awards, this striking, modern facility has become one of North America’s most popular sites for local, state, regional and national groups and organizations.
We have more than 1.7 million square feet of space offering a combination of settings that are perfect for events of all sizes, including Battelle Grand, the largest, multi-purpose ballroom in the state of Ohio. There are approximately 50,000 square feet on the main floor and approximately 24,000 square feet on the mezzanine level, with the option of five different configurations in Battelle Grand. The room offers an expansive view of downtown Columbus and a high-tech ceiling system, which provides customized lighting options. (Battelle Grand)
