Battelle Hall, Event venue at Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio, United States
Battelle Hall is an event venue inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, with an open main floor and a balcony level above it. The space also has a movable stage, which allows the layout to shift depending on whether the event is a concert, a sports competition, or another large gathering.
The hall opened in the early 1980s as part of an investment by a scientific research institute, which also gave it its name. It has since become a regular part of the event scene in Columbus.
The hall has hosted concerts by artists such as Conway Twitty, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, and Billy Idol. Professional wrestling events have also taken place here, showing how broadly the space is used across different audiences.
The hall sits inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center, which is well marked and easy to reach on foot from downtown. It is worth checking in advance what layout is planned for a given event, since the seating and access points can vary considerably depending on the setup.
The hall's LED lighting system uses hundreds of individual fixtures that can together produce a very large number of color combinations. This means the visual feel of the space can be completely changed from one event to the next.
