Meydenbauer Center, located in Bellevue, earned the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR Facility accreditation, becoming the first convention center in Washington state to earn the accreditation. The accreditation is awarded by GBAC, a subdivision of ISSA, a trade association for the cleaning industry worldwide. To achieve the accreditation, facilities must demonstrate compliance with the 20 elements of the program, including risk assessment, standard operating procedures, proper cleaning and disinfection chemicals and personal protective equipment. The program is performance-based and in order to maintain their accreditation facilities must continue to demonstrate that they have the correct procedures and training in place to respond to and recover from outbreaks and pandemics like COVID-19. Meydenbauer Center will continue reporting to ISSA on a quarterly basis to maintain the accreditation.
