The 3,168 ft 2 (294 m 2 ) space includes a central meeting space and two adjoining class- rooms, making it ideal for training events, small conferences, or technology demon- strations. The space can accommodate up to 100 people with a classroom-style seat- ing arrangement. Most recently, the space hosted five teams for NACE's Corrosion Design Competition, in which university students competed with drones and robots to design a solution for detecting corrosion in hard-to-reach places. The industrial meeting space features a bay door, concrete floors, A/V capabili- ties, and pipe and draping enclosures. Tables and chairs are available for rent. The entire space is air-conditioned. The center offers free parking and is located a short distance from restaurants, hotels, and the offices of some of the area's largest employers, including BP America, ConocoPhillips, and Shell Oil Co.
