(01) Specifications
Hall 1, in detail
Hall 1 shares the largest floor at OCEC with Hall 2: 4,880 m² of column-free space with no structure to work around, so stands, stages and seating can be laid out exactly as the brief demands.
It sits beside Hall 2, and the two combine into one space that seats more than 10,000 theatre-style, the scale for concerts, graduations and national celebrations. On its own, Hall 1 suits trade shows, consumer fairs and the exhibition floor of a major congress.
