The design features a striking cantilevered auditorium, flexible spaces for conferences and events, and a vertical foyer that connects visitors to multiple levels, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment for gathering, learning, and collaboration.
Sustainability is at the heart of the ECC, with energy-positive buildings powered by innovative bromide flow batteries, nitrogen dioxide-absorbing facades, and a BREEAM Outstanding rating ambition. The design incorporates extensive greening, from rooftop landscapes to green corridors, enhancing biodiversity and improving the microclimate.
The flexible 1,500-seat auditorium can be divided into smaller spaces, supporting hybrid events and maximizing functionality. Additionally, the project includes a mobility hub with expanded hotel facilities, green parking, and smart transportation options, making the ECC a model for sustainable urban development and a key driver for the region’s growth.
