ATLANTA (July 22, 2004)
Just outside the GWCC Building A doors is a newly
landscaped plaza that welcomes visitors to the
Georgia World Congress Center. East Plaza, which
re-opened this spring after several months of
renovation, is the Congress Center’s newest
landscape feature.
East Plaza is a 3.5-acre plaza featuring walkways,
benches, planters and borders with stunning landscapes
to create an attractive courtyard. Sitting areas
and green spaces add functionality and beauty.
“This brings a lot more space and movability
for show attendees who want to take a break between
meetings or sessions. From the beginning, our
campus was designed to feature lavish landscaping,
articulate plazas and relaxing fountains to further
welcome our guests,” stated John Smith,
GWCC general manager.
East Plaza links the Georgia World Congress Center
directly to the new $100 million Omni Tower, which
opened last year. The 28-story Omni Tower features
600 hotel rooms and 120,000 square feet of meeting
space. Beyond the beautiful Omni Tower is 21-acre
Centennial Olympic Park, the CNN Center and the
downtown hotel district.
