On the banks of the Mississippi River, Grand River Center is a<br />

beautiful limestone and glass structure featuring strikingly<br />

modern lines that complement the traditional architecture of the<br />

surrounding area. A special feature, the undulating roofline,<br />

reflects the river itself. The city of Dubuque had considered<br />

pursuing a state-of-the-art education and conference facility for<br />

nearly a decade but lacked funding. Through progressive thinking,<br />

unique partnerships and the creation of the Vision Iowa<br />

funding, through the State of Iowa, the dream has become a<br />

reality.<br />

The three-story Grand River Center provides breath-taking views<br />

of the Mississippi River and the Tri-State area. The center features<br />

an 86,000 square foot conference and meeting facility which<br />

includes a 30,000 square foot exhibit hall, a 12,000 square foot<br />

ballroom and six meeting rooms. On the third floor, the River<br />

Room is an all-glass enclosure with a balcony jutting over the<br />

Riverwalk, which allows the sensation of floating over the river.<br />

The Grand River Center has won eight “Best of the Midwest”<br />

awards for meetings.
