The new 131,729 GSF Georgia State University Convocation Center is located in the east-central portion of the site. The multiuse facility provides up to 8,000 seats for hosting commencement, public events and Panthers’ basketball near Georgia State Stadium. The new building features a glass façade that looks north toward the downtown skyline and a customizable interior that can be configured to accommodate various kinds of events. The event level is constructed at a finished floor elevation of approximately 987.5 ft-MSL with the main concourse level at 1005.5 ft-MSL.
