context_page_description: The Dr. Pedro Rosselló González Puerto Rico Convention Center or simply, Puerto Rico Convention Center is a convention center located in Isla Grande, in San Juan, Puerto Rico owned by the Puerto Rico Convention District Authority, a government agency of Puerto Rico, and managed by AEG. Designed by tvsdesign, it is the largest convention center in the Caribbean and one of the most technologically advanced in the Americas.
  The Convention Center includes a 157,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall that can seat up to 16,965 people and a 39,500-square-foot ballroom that can accommodate up to 4,158 people. All in all, approximately 25,000 people can be accommodated within the center simultaneously and can handle conventions of organizations as large as 10,000 participants. The current PRCC general manager is Jorge Pérez.
  The Center is operated by the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority, which also operates the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, also known as the "Choliseo", and the Government Reception Center, known as the Antiguo Casino de Puerto Rico, in Old San Juan, as well as the 113-acre district on which the Convention Center and the attached Sheraton hotel are located.
context_section_description: The PRCC is part of a planned Puerto Rico Convention Center District (master planned by Sasaki Associates). The main project is the Aloft hotel with 177 rooms, and a music hall which can seat 6,000 visitors, as well as a Caribbean cinema. The Puerto Rican government selected Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, under its Sheraton flag, to operate the reported $209 million facility, known as the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino. With these two hotels and others in the area, the district now has 1,762 hotel rooms available for visitors.
  In recent years a number of projects have been under construction, including several restaurants and bars, an entertainment event venue known as El Distrito (formerly District Live!), a container park and the EcoExploratorio (an interactive museum and aquarium). Additionally, the Puerto Rico Film District composed by film studios and other features, including a university, is being built within the zone.
