The convention centre was built on a 3.25 hectare site (plus extension into Burrard Inlet) just to the west of Canada Place. Existing facilities were renovated and the two sites have been linked, forming a new integrated convention and exhibition centre. These newly expanded facilities will be the International Broadcast Centre for the 2010 Winter Games. The expansion adds 359,000 square feet of exhibit space, meeting space, ballroom space and a signature room, to the 133,000 square feet of available convention centre space, more than tripling the total function space.
