Buffalo Niagara Convention Center / FACILITY

WE'RE FEELING ALL TORN UP INSIDE.
(And outside, too.)

Crews are working around the clock to give the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center a $7 million facelift. We’ll reopen on September 10. In the meantime, keep checking this webpage and our Facebook page for updates on the progress!

Yeah, we all knew our old marquee was dysfunctional and ugly. It had to go.

On June 9, Erie County Executive Chris Collins and Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau President and CEO Dottie Gallagher-Cohen took ceremonial sledgehammer swings at the old Convention Center marquee.

Not many tears were shed when the old marquee came down.

Jackhammers have been rattling inside the Convention Center, as workers prepare to lay down a new floor surface.

More floor bustin’!

Here’s a taste of what the Convention Center’s new floor will look like.

On June 14, the Convention Center donated its 30,000 square feet of old carpeting to Buffalo ReUse, rather than sending it to a landfill.

Crews have been clearing the way to install the Convention Center’s new digital marquee.
