Loudoun County recently purchased 46 undeveloped acres from NCC to facilitate the development of the greatly anticipated and much-needed Riverside High School.
LEESBURG, VA. – Kurt Krause, General Manager at The National Conference Center has announced the development of a new 158,000 square-foot parking facility for the 65-acre facility in Loudoun County, VA. The National Conference Center – which has received 12 consecutive months of 100% meeting planner satisfaction – is a residential training center that features 917 guest rooms and 250 meeting rooms and offers comprehensive services for group meetings and gatherings, including dining and lodging.
Loudoun County recently purchased 46 undeveloped acres from NCC to facilitate the development of the greatly anticipated and much-needed Riverside High School. The transaction generated the concept of building the parking facility. According to General Manager, Kurt Krause, “The new parking garage will provide quicker and more convenient access to the facility and is part of our long-range master plan to accommodate increasing demand.”
A newly developed boulevard will guide guests to the facility and the new 493-space, three-level parking garage will also include reserved prime spaces for commuters and hybrid fuel cars. Conveniently located directly across from West Belmont Place, the 16,000 square-foot ballroom at NCC, the new parking facility will provide easy access to the front entrance of the main building.
“The National Conference Center is a busy campus, and we want to make the construction phase as easy and as convenient as possible,” said Scott Kimble, project manager with Howard Shockey & Sons. “We are working closely with the staff to ensure continued guest convenience and are quickly rerouted to convenient available parking.”
The National Conference Center is also adding an at-grade parking lot with an additional 150 spaces, which will make it easier for guests to check in, as well as improving some of the access roads at the center.
The new garage is scheduled for completion in December 2013. Project owner is Oxford Capital Partners Inc., of Lansdowne, Va. Family-owned Howard Shockey & Sons Inc. is the design-builder.
The expansion of parking facilities is Shockey’s second construction project at the National Conference Center. Previously, Shockey developed West Belmont Place, which includes the largest ballroom in Northern Virginia accommodating up to 1,800 guests. West Belmont Place at The National Conference Center was recently awarded “Best Venue” by the International Special Events Society which celebrates and honors the best of the best in the special events industry.
