ABOUT THE VENUE

Google YouTube Playa Vista Campus - Spruce Goose Hanger

The Spruce Goose Hanger is one of Los Angeles' most historical and spectacular landmarks. The Spruce Goose Hanger, designed and built by visionary and film maker Howard Hughes, was home to the largest airplane ever built as well as Howard Hughes' famous film studios. More recently, the Academy Award Winning film, The Titantic, Iron Man, Avatar, and other notable films have also been filmed in the Spruce Goose Hanger. After a multi-million dollar design renovation, the Spruce Goose Hanger was converted into Google-YouTube's new Playa Vista Campus. Amongst the many notable features includes a state of the art conference room housing the largest LCD screen in California.
