The Bradford Creek Convention Center was designed as part of an 100 acre private development to provide Eastern North Carolina with a unique Convention Center Complex, including a 20,000 seat Amphitheater, a hotel and retail space for shopping and dining. The northern entrance to the complex is designed with a tree lined, four lane boulevard with the convention center being the focal point for arriving visitors. Once inside, three lobbies provide pre-function space for exhibit halls and meeting rooms, as well as access to the Amphitheater. The openness of the lobbies and the pre-function spaces provide views to the fountain and attractive landscape terracing. The abundant use of glass, a balcony, covered entrances, landscaping, and fountains are designed to add excitement to the lobby environment. Support facilities include ample restroom and storage space. The food service area is positioned so that it can provide catering to either Amphitheater or Convention Center functions.
