Warsaw getting new EXPO space
The new structure will be constructed at the junction of ul. Prądzyńskiego and ul. Bema in the Wola district of Warsaw.
The newest addition to the center will include a 3,600 sqm trade hall, two glass-enclosed lobbies and a conference hall. The building will accommodate 3,600 people.
The project is valued at EUR11 (zł.36) million and is scheduled for completion in H1 2009. The design for the new building was prepared by Warsaw-based architectural studio DB Projekt.
"The trade events that we host, such as Automaticon, Rema Days, Wind & Water and Green Is Life, are more popular each and every year and they are expanding their offer. Hence our decision to expand the center," said Żaneta Berus, managing director of EXPO XXI Warsaw.
"The new building will feature modern solutions, such as a sound-resistant dividing wall to enable several events to take place at any one time. It a perfect venue, not just for trade exhibitions, but also for different balls, presentations, galas, sport events and concerts," she added.
Once the new building is delivered, EXPO XII Warsaw will have a total of 17,000 sqm of space. According to the firm, this will make it the largest exhibition and conference center in the capital. Expo XXI was established in 2001.
