Jacob K. Javits Convention Center

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center opened in 1986 on Manhattan's West Side as a major exhibition and convention facility for New York City. It hosts large annual events and trade shows, including New York Comic Con and major art and design fairs, and serves as a key venue for national and international exhibitions. The center underwent extensive expansions and modernization, including the addition of a large planted roof as part of efforts to improve sustainability and public amenities.
