A convention center (American English; conference centre outside the USA) is a large building that is designed to hold a convention, where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. Convention centers typically offer sufficient floor area to accommodate several thousand attendees. Very large venues, suitable for major trade shows, are sometimes known as exhibition centres. Convention centers typically have at least one auditorium and may also contain concert halls, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and conference rooms. Some large resort areahotels include a convention center.
Convention Center was renovated in 2006 to be made fully wheelchair accessible. This station was the southernmost station on the Alum Rock–Santa Theresa line to permit level boarding at all doors. Stations south of Convention Center had wooden wheelchair ramps only at the first door.
The station was one of the three original Jacksonville Skyway stops that opened with the initial 0.7-mile (1.1km) Phase I-A segment in June 1989. It was originally called "Terminal Station" in reference to the Jacksonville Terminal, a former train station that was converted into the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center in 1986. Built to provide public transit access to the Convention Center, it was (and remains) the western terminus of line, which ran east to Jefferson station and Central station. All three stations were renovated in 1997, when the Skyway transitioned from Matra to Bombardier Transportation technology.
The station has an adjacent park and ride lot. The City of Jacksonville plans to turn the site into an intermodal transit station with the return of rail service to the Jacksonville Terminal.
