The future multipurpose events center at Universal Epic Universe is growing with a second story added in the past three weeks. Land\u00a0clearing began in the area<\/a> last year, followed by concrete pouring for the foundation<\/a> this spring and then vertical construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These photos by aerial photographer @bioreconstruct on X<\/a> show the current status of the events center, which is located off Celestial Park between Other Worlds Mercantile and Super Nintendo World, near a backstage bus loop.<\/p>\n

The metal framing is now two stories tall, with a floor\/ceiling separating the two stories. Similar flooring panels are starting to be installed atop the second story.<\/p>\n

At one end is a staircase, which is taller than the rest of the building, indicating it could be four stories tall. However, permits have listed it at as a two-level building.<\/p>\n

The project is known in filings as Project P915 and is listed as a 53,886-square-foot space with about 29,749 square feet enclosed. The\u00a0project value is more than $20 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Universal has not officially announced the purpose of the building, the size, location, and\u00a0permit details<\/a>\u00a0point toward a multipurpose event venue. It could support corporate functions, private receptions, media events, catered gatherings, convention-adjacent programming, and other group-use offerings tied to Epic Universe. Occupancy is expected to be roughly 1,200 to 1,400 guests.<\/p>\n
