The expansion structure is uniquely San Jose and showcases the City’s innovative spirit, unifies the urban appearance, increases operational efficiency, and provides long-term sustainability.
Combined with San Jose’s new Airport and City Hall, the Convention Center is a key piece in differentiating San Jose as the innovation center of Silicon Valley.
