IC3 Convention Center. Background and prior plans[edit]. Turnover and inauguration[edit]. Architecture and design[edit].
The IEC Convention Center of Cebu or the IC3 Convention Center (formerly the International Eucharistic Congress Pavilion) is a convention center within the grounds of the 23 Minore Park development along Pope John Paul II Avenue in Barangay Luz, Cebu City, Philippines.[3][1] The convention center was built in order to host the 2016 International Eucharistic Congress held in the city.
Regent Property International manages the facility, which is part of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
With Cebu City due to host the International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) in 2016, the Archdiocese of Cebu sought a venue for the congress.
It was planned that a venue would be built out of the unfinished shell of a privately owned commercial building behind ParkMall in Mandaue which is also near to the Cebu International Convention Center. However, such plans were scrapped in favor of building a venue within the seminary compound of the Archdiocese so that the facility, which will be used for other events of the local church after the IEC, will be more accessible to the archdiocese's constituents.[5]
The groundbreaking for the IEC Pavilion was done on February 15, 2014,[6] which was attended by Archdiocese of Cebu officials as well as local government officials.[5] Construction commenced in July 2014[7] and the building was topped off on July 15, 2015.[3]
