HEALTH & SANITATION
The San Jose Theaters are dedicated to the highest level of health and sanitation standards as recommended by top industry experts. As we prepare to welcome you back to our venues, here’s what we’re doing to keep safety a top priority for all….
GBAC STAR™ Facility Accreditation
The collection of San Jose Theaters are among the first venues in the nation to achieve the GBAC STAR™, the cleaning industry’s only outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation. The GBAC STAR™ rating was achieved alongside the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, making San Jose the first Bay Area meetings campus to reach this standard.
Improved Air Quality Filtration
To ensure the air in our buildings is safe when you return, San Jose Theaters has improved the air quality at our venues by upgrading our air filtration filters over the standard code minimum. We’re using MERV 13 in occupant dense spaces, as recommended by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) for non-healthcare facilities.
Touchless Experience
To help reduce the amount of physical contact at San Jose Theaters, we’re creating a touchless experience with:
- Most concerts and events will offer mobile ticket delivery & cashless transactions at our venue box offices. (No printed tickets.)
- Most concerts and events will offer new security ticket scanners that create an efficient and seamless entry.
- Bars & Concessions are now cashless offering many digital options for purchasing food or beverages (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
