The center opened on June 2 2005.[1] It was designed by Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates and features more than 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) of exhibition space, a 40,000-square-foot (4,000 m2) ballroom and 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of flexible meeting space.[3] It is the largest convention facility between New York and Boston.
