Thank you for your interest in the Charleston Area Convention Center
Complex and the Charleston area. Charleston has a rich history dating back to 1670.
Our area would be perfect for your group.
The Charleston Area Convention Center Complex opened August 12, 1999 with an Exhibition
Hall of 76,960 square feet, divisible into three separate halls. The exhibit hall
floor features floor boxes thirty feet on center with power, communication, microphones,
and drains, with a conduit system that allows you to pull a line anywhere in the hall.
Floor boxes at the columns have water, and on the column is forced |
| air. There is a thirty-foot clearance from the floor to the bottom of the roof
joist. The ceiling features exposed overhead structure for convenient rigging, and both
metal halide and dimmable quartz lighting. Wall panels hide in the wall pockets when not
in use. Each hall, when divided has pre function access, concessions, and restrooms.
Loading docks are accessible to each hall with vehicle access and three coiling doors. The
halls have a public address system, and are fully sprinkled for your safety, and are ADA
