Orange County Convention Center Facts

North/South Building

Just this building’s exhibit hall is 22 acres under roof, which would fit 200 NBA sized basketball courts.

The Operable Partition Panels equal 1.65 miles making them the largest operable partition system in the world.
There are 130,000 Cubic Yards of cast in place concrete that equals 410 miles of sidewalk. That is the same distance to Key West from Orlando.
Over 900,000 blocks were used to build the North/South Building, which is enough to build 125 (1600 sq. ft.) homes
Laid end to end, the 140,000 LFT of precast and stone columns would measure 40 miles, which is 2.7 times longer than the Walt Disney World Resort Monorail.
