The doors to the SCC opened in 1983 and since 1993 it has been managed by Edmonton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC), a not-for-profit enterprise owned by the City of Edmonton. Formerly the Edmonton Convention Centre, its current name comes from a $5.5 million, 20 year corporate partnership between EEDC and Shaw Communications Inc., signed in 1997.〔Media Release February 6, 1997, Economic Development Edmonton and Shaw Communications Inc.〕 It is reported by EEDC that the SCC boosts Edmonton's economy by an estimated $44 million a year.〔Page 23 of “Forward” Edmonton Economic Development’s 2008 Annual Report ()〕 ==History== The area in Grierson Hill where the Shaw Conference Centre now resides was originally a coal mine in operation from 1892 and 1893, allowing for approximately 70 per cent of the SCC to be located underground. This burrowing conceals the fact the building is over 10 stories high.〔Small mine in operation 1892 - 1893 (Real Estate & Housing, pg 12, 1978)〕 James Wensley, a local Edmontonian, was the architect for the SCC and was awarded the Alberta Association of Architects Citation in 1983 for his work on the facility. Other notable works in the City from this architect include the Manulife, Scotia Place and Sunlife buildings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaw Conference Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
