With more than 320,000 total square feet, the facility features of exhibit space, a ballroom, 20 meeting rooms and four executive boardrooms. Located within the Galleria complex, an upscale office/retail/hotel area, the Centre is connected to the Galleria Specialty Mall and the 522-room Renaissance Waverly Hotel.

and The Battery Atlanta. The Authority has been able to re-invest in its asset through several acquisitions and construction initiatives, including building additional exhibit space and parking facilities, bringing food and beverage operations in-house and acquiring the Galleria Specialty Shops. The biggest initiative has been the construction of the state-of-the-art Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, which opened in 2007.
