What are Century Concrete and Bay Mechanical doing next door to VBCC on Parks Avenue?
While both were significant contractors who built VBCC, they are into a more philanthropic endeavor with MOCA this week. Stay tuned!
New Ballroom Dedication Sign
The ballroom dedication sign and plaque were finally completed last week. It took quite a bit longer than I ever would have anticipated, but I’ve grown to learn that about many things at VBCC. There isn’t another building like ours and recreating many of the custom elements take time.
Bringing Your Sport To Life
It must finally be spring outside because Team VBCC is bringing US Finals to life! Late Tuesday afternoon Justin, Tobias, Kendita, Toddell, and Terence were all found setting chairs and closing walls. Meanwhile, Lisa was getting the front of house ready preparing ticket boxes. Adrielle slipped away from her desk for a few minutes but there was tell-tale evidence of her last-minute work. Let’s hope the sun remains out for the street party!
Tallwood High Site Visit
Students from the Tallwood Global Studies & World Languages Academy stopped by the Virginia Beach Convention Center on Thursday. They took a tour, learned about convention center operations and the careers available in the hospitality industry. They were able to tour the facility and see the Collie Club National Specialty Show in action.

What do you do when you find a piece of broken glass at VBCC?
You hire a glazing contractor, round up a crane, a man lift and 8 strong professional glazers, and get to work. And then, write a big check. VBCC was fortunate that Walker & Laberge, the original contractor, had two pieces of this custom curved glass left over from our job in 2005. Work was completed March 15.
