The LACC hosts multiple annual conventions and has often been used as a filming location in TV show and movies (notably as a spaceport for Starship Troopers and used for the climactic fight scene in Rush Hour). HistoryThe Convention Center, designed by architect Charles Luckman, opened in 1971 and expanded in 1981, 1993 and 1997.[2] It was originally built as a rectanglular building, between Pico Boulevard and 11th Street (now Chick Hearn Ct.) on Figueroa Street. The northeast portion of the Center was demolished in 1997 to make way for the Staples Center. The Convention Center Annex of green glass and white steel frames, mainly on the south side of Pico, was designed by architect James Ingo Freed.[3] The area in front of the Convention Center is known as the Gilbert Lindsay Plaza, named for the late councilman who represented the Downtown area of Los Angeles for many years. A {{convert|10|ft|m|adj=on}}-high monument honoring "The Emperor of the Great 9th District" was unveiled in 1995.[4] The drive between Figueroa Street and the Convention Center building is also named after Councilman Lindsay. On March 1, 1983, a tornado caused damages to the roof and upper-level panels. The building was repaired and new Convention Center lettering signs were installed at a total cost of $3 million.[5] On September 15, 2008, the Los Angeles Convention Center became the first U.S. convention center and first Los Angeles City building of its age and size in the U.S. to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified for Existing Buildings from the United States Green Building Council. In 2013, the Los Angeles City Council voted to let Anschutz Entertainment Group manage the Convention Center.[6] EventsThe LACC hosts annual events such as the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Abilities Expo, the Anime Expo, and is best known to video game fans as host to the Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3. Grammy WeekDuring the week leading up to the annual Grammy Awards, the convention center typically hosts several Grammy week events. Since 2005, the convention center has hosted the MusiCares Person of the Year tribute, which takes place two days prior to the Grammy Awards.[7] It also hosted the pre-telecast portion of the Grammy Awards (preceding the main telecast at the Staples Center) until 2013, when the pre-telecast was moved to the Nokia Theatre (now the Microsoft Theater).[8] Emmy WeekFollowing the annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, the convention center hosts the Governors Ball, one of the major Emmy after-parties.[9] 2028 Summer OlympicsDuring the 2028 Summer Olympics, the convention center will host six sports. It will host women's Basketball Preliminaries, Boxing, Fencing, Taekwondo, Table Tennis and BMX Freestyle. It will be a part of the Live Site Olympic Zone down Figueroa St.[10] FeaturesThe LACC is one of the largest convention centers in the United States with over {{convert|720000|sqft|abbr=on}} of exhibition space, {{convert|147000|sqft|abbr=on}} of meeting space, {{convert|1960000|sqft|abbr=on}} of parking, and a 299-seat theater.[11] The lobby floors in the north half of the building feature two large {{convert|140000|sqft|abbr=on}} multicolor maps of inlaid terrazzo. The project was installed by artist Alexis Smith in 1993. A map of the world centered on the Pacific Rim covers the entire floor of the main lobby, while a map of the constellations around the north celestial pole covers the floor of the upstairs lobby.
Expansion ProposalsIn 2010, the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) and businessman Casey Wasserman proposed construction of Farmers Field, a US$1 billion combination football stadium and convention center, meant to attract the return of a National Football League (NFL) team to the Los Angeles area.[13] The development proposal was abandoned in March 2015. A new proposal was developed in 2015, approved by city hall and a design team was chosen. A new convention hall, called "LACOEX", would be built, with a connection to the south hall.[14] Construction and approval is set to commence by 2019.
