A renovation project that includes improvements to the massive John A. Williams Ballroom and a wireless network upgrade is underway at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Galleria officials say the renovations, which are slated for completion by June 2012, “will help to maintain the venue’s status as a leader in the [convention] industry.”
The 25,000-square-foot ballroom – as well as common areas and restrooms – will receive new carpeting, wall coverings, lighting fixtures and paint. “The John A. Williams Ballroom plays host to some of Atlanta’s most prestigious social events and corporate meetings,” said Michele Swann, general manager and CEO of the facility, in a statement. “We’re proud to make these renovations that will keep the Cobb Galleria Centre looking even better than the day it opened.”
Other improvements include an improved chiller for the facility’s HVAC system, new paint and flooring for the Center Court area, and an expansion of the center’s wireless network to 225 megabytes, which will increase public Internet capacity at the site by 10 times. A new digital reader board system also will be installed throughout the centre.
The Cobb Galleria Centre features 144,000 square feet of exhibition space, 24,000 square feet of registration space, 20 meeting rooms and four executive boardrooms.
