The St. John's Convention Centre (newly branded as SJCC), located in Downtown St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador at 101 New Gower Street is the province's largest convention centre with 47,000 square feet (4365 sq m) of divisible meeting space. The convention centre was built in May 2001 along with its sister building Mile One Centre, directly across the street. Both buildings are operated by St. John's Sports & Entertainment Ltd. SJCC is linked to Mile One Centre and the Delta St. John's Hotel by a pedway system.
When SJCC was constructed it was built directly on top of what was roughly the middle of George Street. This resulted in the creation of two separate streets: the popular George Street, known for its record number of bars and pubs, and George Street West, which is home to a number of businesses, residences and a church.
