Indianapolis will soon welcome a 235,000 square foot expansion of the Indiana Convention Center. The expansion will include a 50,000 square foot ballroom (the state’s largest), 30,000 square feet of meeting rooms, and 40,000 square feet of pre-function space. The skybridge connecting the expansion to the center will offer an additional 9,200 square feet of indoor/outdoor function space.
This expansion serves as the next phase in ensuring Indy continues to race ahead as USA Today’s “#1 Convention City in the U.S.”

A successful meeting is mostly about servicing meeting planners and delighting attendees—but it’s also a successful meeting if its environmental impact is kept at a minimum.
Food. An Indianapolis-based organization called Second Helpings reclaims food after a banquet and takes it to kitchens at their facility to be distributed to homeless shelters and missions, reducing waste and feeding the community.
Recycling. Aluminum cans, palettes, paper, and cooking oil used at the Indiana Convention Center are recycled.
Paper Products. We’ve created our own line of biodegradable, disposable serviceware products. Also, paper towels and tissues are 100% recycled material.
Cleansers. Green Seal-certified cleaning products are used throughout the facility.
Sustainability. Catering uses milk, cheese, and yogurt from a local organic dairy farm, as well as local produce.
Energy Savings. We reduce lighting and HVAC in unoccupied areas of the building and in exhibit halls during move-in and move-out. Meeting rooms and lobby areas use compact fluorescent lamps, and exhibit halls provide more efficient lower-wattage lamps with the same light output. And Lucas Oil Stadium saves energy with CPI Daylighting system and fans designed to move the maximum amount of air with minimal energy consumption.
Water. We provide water stations in place of bottles for attendees. Sink faucets and low-flow toilets also reduce water waste. For clean-up, all parking lots are swept—not sprayed.
Ground Transportation. Having your meeting in Indianapolis means less shuttling, less commuting, less time stuck in traffic idling car and bus engines. Less exhaust puffing out of vehicles stuffed with impatient attendees reduces your carbon footprint.
