The Anaheim [Calif.] Convention Center is expanding its outdoor and special event space by 100,000 square feet, with completion expected by late next year.
Called the Grand Plaza,the new space will feature landscaping, walkways, hardscape designs, water features and fountains, seating areas, special lighting, and infrastructure necessary to support various special events, including outdoor exhibits, dining, receptions and meetings.
The Grand Plaza will also provide for pedestrian circulation, concession opportunities and recreational event areas. Plans also include street improvements, a dedicated transportation plaza area with shuttle pick-up/drop-off areas.
The overall project area will be along Convention Way (the front entrance to the Anaheim Convention Center) between the Hilton Anaheim and the Anaheim Marriott hotels, extending from Hotel Way at the eastern border and then continuing west and curving around to the southeast corner of the convention center’s Exhibit Hall D.
