For Events, Trainings & Meetings

The Smart Buildings Center is located in the iconic Pacific Tower building in Seattle (formerly the corporate headquarters for Amazon). Built as a merchant marine hospital in 1932, this historic landmark building has been recently renovated to meet the City of Seattle’s energy code through its “substantial renovation” performance path. The SBC occupies approximately 5,000 square feet on the first floor of the building.
We invite the broader community with an interest in the built environment to use our space for meetings, events, and trainings. Whether it’s your professional society, industry association, or a key customer group meeting, the SBC can provide you a high quality experience.
Training/Event Space
Our training and event space has capacity for up to 100 attendees and is designed for maximizing the user experience. State of the art audio-visual and information technology provide a dynamic learning and meeting environment both for on-site and remote attendees.
Large Conference Room
Our large conference room offers a more intimate setting for customer interaction, board meetings, and private conferences with the same attention to advanced information technology appointments that provide a superior user experience for those on and off site.
