IICRC to open new Global Resource Center

LAS VEGAS — While visitors to Las Vegas are often reminded "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," the Institute for Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) hopes the opposite will happen with its new Global Resource Center, according to a press release.

The center will be a 20,000-square-foot facility scheduled to open January 2014, the release stated.

According to the release, the Institute completed the purchase of the property this summer and will begin extensive renovations throughout the end of the year to transform the space and make it a destination for IICRC constituents.

While final plans have yet to be determined (as of publication), potential uses for the space include, but are not limited to: Conferences and meetings, training, video production, storage and documenting the history of the industry with a library or museum, the release noted.

The purpose of the Global Resource Center is concurrent with the mission of the IICRC, which is to enhance communication and resources to build upon the IICRC’s reputation as the leading authority and source of professional knowledge in the industry, the release added.
