Welcome to Nashville’s Music City Center

ESX is proud to help headline the opening of Nashville’s brand new, gorgeous Music City Center - the amazing convention center and landmark that’s been under construction for about three years.

The 2.1 million square foot, LEED Silver certified facility features a nearly eight-acre exhibit hall, a 57,5000-square-foot grand ballroom and 1.2 million square feet of public space. More than 15,000 people attended the facility’s grand opening last week, according to the Tennessean.

“This is a big investment by the city and it took a lot of confidence in the city to make this investment during the recession. And I think it’s going to pay off for us in a big way,” Nashville mayor Karl Dean told the paper.

“Nashvillians are very much aware that we are on a positive trajectory in terms of moving forward. It’s just a real positive thing for the city.”

Some amazing facts about the Music City Center, from the Tennessean:

• The roof contains 845 solar panels, which will supply the center with 211 kilowatts of power - enough to power 40-50 average homes
• The Center’s green roof has 14 types of vegetation that help cut storm water runoff, clean the air, reduce the urban heat island effect, lower cooling costs and converse energy
• The Center features the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a digital museum that showcases biographies, photos, videos and audio clips in both physical exhibits and three 55-inch touchscreens
