This is a multi-leveled building at the intersection of Westheimer and Woodland Park Dr. Even though there is a big sign out front, there are likely other businesses in the building. The only reason I would have visited the TTCC is for training and CE courses for my job.
Being on Westheimer, one of the most traveled roads in Houston, if you are coming in from anywhere outside of Houston for training events, give yourself enough time to get there as you are bound to run into some traffic coming in.
The facility itself is located on the 6th floor and it's not just one or two rooms, there are probably at least 7-8 rooms available and you can find them scattered throughout the floor once you exit the elevators. The organizers of the courses will of course reserve the spaces and the attendees show up. Coffee, Tea, Hot Water, Juices and pastries are provided in the morning and chips / snacks in the afternoon. The mini fridge has soft drinks. Although I was under the impression that the organizers are the ones that got lunch for us, but after seeing other reviews as well as seeing attendees for other functions all eat at the lunch room, I suppose the conference center orders us lunch too. Very thoughtful and convenient. The lunch room can get crowded if the buffet style lunches are served. Much more manageable if they bring boxed lunches and leave them outside the classrooms. The Restrooms are near the elevators and could be a little hard to find if you don't already know where they are.
The most tricky thing about the facility is probably the parking. There is a multi-level parking garage right next to the building and there are also visitor parking lots closer to the building. But if you are here for training / classes, don't park outside because these are 2-hour lots. Instead, you will park in the garage, there are attendants in the garage that will provide you with directions. The first two levels are reserved for the tenants of the building. However, levels above 4 are generally reserved for class trainees. You arrive at a parking arm leading upwards to the second level, grab a ticket and find your parking space. Do take your ticket with you instead of leaving it in your car.
There are typically security attendants in the lobby in suits who are providing information and directions. They could generally tell if you are a visitor or a tenant. By giving them your parking ticket, they will exchange it for a token (like the ones you see at video arcades). Hold onto that because when you are getting ready to leave, you will be inserting that token to raise the parking arms down the same slope you came up and you exit onto Woodland Park Dr. Which isn't really that busy of a street if your classes ends in the afternoon and you can generally make your turns or U-Turns back towards Westheimer pretty easily.
Overall a pretty nice training center, I do enjoy coming here for my classes, only wish it was a little closer to my house, but I suppose that's what we all say about places we have to go, right? read more
