AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center is expanding its conference space with a 15,000-square-foot ballroom, 5,000 square feet of pre-function space and a 5,500-square-foot banquet kitchen in the new Robert B. Rowling Hall, to be opened July 2017.
Rowling Hall will be a 458,000-square-foot building located across the street from the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center which offers 40,000 square feet of meeting and event space. The new facilities will be accessible to the current building by an underground connection. Similar to the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Rowling Hall will be built with a focus on sustainability. The center has begun booking meetings and events for the new space.
“This expansion will provide more meeting space for our customers and the opportunity to book bigger groups who want personalized service,” said Keith Purcell, director of sales and marketing at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. “Our role in fostering education and impacting business is important to us, and we are very excited about our expansion and continued partnership with The University of Texas.”
Additionally, AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center began a renovation in November 2015 of the hotel’s 297 rooms. Scheduled to be complete by February 2016, the new rooms will feature a brand new look and newer technology.
