Roundhouse Conference Center at Bishop Ranch Now Open

Moana Restaurant Group announced the opening of a new, 50,000-square-foot destination for corporate meetings and private events in the San Ramon Valley: Roundhouse Conference Center. Located within 2600 Bishop Ranch, Roundhouse includes a large auditorium (capacity: 300); two lecture halls (capacity: 75 each); a convertible event room (capacity: 160); six boardrooms with a common amenity lobby and workstation (total capacity: 60); large interior atrium (capacity: 150 seated/200 standing); and an exterior waterfront patio plaza (capacity: 150 seated/250 standing). In total, the interior conference rooms offer 27,000-square feet of space and the outside areas account for 23,000-square-feet of space for meetings, events and parties of all sizes.

“We’re excited about the overall experience Roundhouse Conference Center will provide for meeting planners and attendees. Not only is the setting beautiful, but the amenities make it an ideal place to hold productive and creative sessions,” said Alexander Mehran, Jr., President and COO of Sunset Development Company, which owns Bishop Ranch.

“Having a successful and productive meeting starts with finding the right venue that inspires creativity and nourishes the attendees,” said Tim Harmon, CEO of Moana Restaurant Group, the company managing Roundhouse Conference Center. “We know that the Roundhouse Conference Center will be a boon for Bishop Ranch customers and the wider business community and groups throughout California. Our history of operating fantastic restaurants also brings a fresh, new culinary angle to what meetings and events can be.”

Newly renovated spaces in a building that was previously closed to the public now unveil themselves as a beautiful location to host a meeting and conduct business in the East Bay. All conference rooms feature the latest in technology to optimize presentations. The six boardrooms each feature conference tables, ergonomic seating, flat-screen displays and Polycom conference systems.

With space available to accommodate groups from eight to 800, Roundhouse Conference Center was designed by IA Interior Architects and offers gourmet full-service hot and cold catering for any meeting small or large. Offerings include breakfast, break-time pastries and snacks, fresh salads, sandwiches and larger meals for lunch such as Farro Salad with roasted vegetables, oven-dried tomatoes and sherry vinaigrette and Slow-roasted Alaskan Salmon with white bean ragu and salsa verde. Post-meeting nibbles and bar offerings are available for evening receptions.

The first event at Roundhouse Conference Center took place on June 18, 2015. It was a networking event hosted by CoreNet, the world’s leading association for corporate real estate and workplace professionals, service providers and economic developers.

Also under construction and set to open to the public in early 2016 will be Roundhouse Market with three quick-serve restaurants, upscale full-service new American restaurant, waterfront coffee bar and café, bike shop and storage facility and electric Duffy boats for exploring the scenic lake surrounding the project.
