About BCC

The Bechtel Conference Center (BCC) is a full-service meeting venue serving the Stanford community that offers state-of-the-art amenities, an on-site technical manager, and flexible set-up options to meet a variety of event needs. Only steps from Hoover Tower and the Main Quad, the BCC is centrally located in historic Encina Hall, which has been painstakingly restored to its original 1891 grandeur with gifts made by the Stephen Bechtel, Jr. family.

The BCC provides a classic Stanford setting ideal for academic conferences, executive classes, dinner seminars, or public lectures. The focal point of the main conference room, which seats up to 180, is a magnificent floor-to-ceiling fireplace covered in its original wood paneling. Arched windows and a large skylight provide natural light. The lobby, furnished with comfortable lounge seating and a photo history of the building, is available for registration or cocktail receptions. Caterers appreciate the BCC's modern staging kitchen and dedicated service elevator. Additional rooms are available for meals, breakout sessions, and videoconferencing.
