The Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center is a testament to the city's colorful history. Serving the community long ago as the "Jacksonville Railroad Terminal," the convention center has transformed into 265,000 gross square feet of space, with a 78,500-square-foot exhibit hall, a 10,000-square-foot ballroom and 22 meeting rooms. The Grand Lobby, a pre-function area, is adorned with 75-foot vaulted ceilings, towering windows and marble floors. Conventioneers staying on the Southbank, can access nearby hotels by the automated Skyway Express, a skyway monorail system that crosses the St. Johns River.
