Exhibition Hall

The current exhibition hall is underutilized because it, too, is outdated. The space is inflexible and not divisible. There are inadequate food service facilities, restrooms, and loading and unloading facilities.

Gaillard Center's exhibition hall will be right-sized for today's market, flexible and energy efficient. It will include adequate food service facilities and restrooms, as well as loading and unloading facilities. And it will provide a positive economic impact.

Gaillard Center is projected to contribute more than $62 million in annual economic impact to the City of Charleston. It is projected to create nearly 1,000 construction-related jobs and almost 400 new full-time jobs.
