Building A, built in 1976, contains 3 exhibit halls (340,000 square feet), 27 meeting rooms and the 1,740-seat Sidney Marcus Auditorium. The two-level Sidney Marcus Auditorium is the perfect setting for speeches, award presentations and entertainment events.

Murphy Ballroom has hosted Presidential addresses, theatrical productions, corporate parties, five-course dinners and everything in between. The ballroom comfortably accommodates 2,560 for dinner and 4,500 in theater-style arrangements. It is easily divided into three rooms and offers a world-class 2,280-square-foot stage with expert in-house staff to operate the state-of-the art audio-visual system. Guests will enjoy an 8,000-square-foot pre-function space, fully equipped dressing rooms and private access for VIPs and guest speakers.
The GWCC's latest expansion, Building C, was completed in 2002. The state-of-the-art building contains 4 exhibit halls (418,500 square feet), 29 meeting rooms, 2 fixed-seat auditoriums and the 25,700 square feet Georgia Ballroom. Host to spectacular galas and serious keynote addresses, the Georgia Ballroom offers a galleria area and outdoor balcony second to none. The fabulous balcony overlooks the West Plaza, a salute to sports, and the magnificent Georgia Dome. The ballroom comfortably seats 2,000 for dinner and 3,680 in theater-style. The C101 and C102 auditoriums provide an intimate setting for keynote speeches, presentations and ceremonies. C101 offers fixed seating for 396 while C102 has a seating capacity of 225.
