Facts & Figures

The Assembly Level features 82,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space.
Approximately 70% of the building is built into the hillside above the river, which disguises how very large the building is. It is actually more than 10 stories from bottom to top.
Built into the side of Grierson Hill, the SCC is supported in place by a “tieback” system. Holes were drilled at 45 degrees along a 225 foot section of the river bank and were filled with reinforced concrete to anchor the structure.
In an average year, SCC receives 330,230 visitors (based on 2005-10). The split is roughly 70 per cent regional versus 30 per cent non-regional visitors.
The Shaw Conference Centre is booked 93% of the year.
In 2010, the Shaw Conference Centre created 459,228 lbs of waste. 63.8% of that waste was diverted from the landfill through cardboard and plastics recycling programs and the SCC's compostable waste program.
