THE Cape Town
International
Convention Centre,
East Expansion, is
complete.
The City of Cape Town
contributed R550 million
toward the cost of the
31 148 sqm expansion,
which adds 10 000 sqm of
multipurpose conference
and exhibition space
through six halls across two
floors.
The facility also includes
3 000 sqm of informal and
formal meeting space in the
form of four larger meeting
suites, a terrace room, and
five smaller meeting pod
rooms.
The new centre is built
across six floors and has
more exterior balconies.
CTICC 2 will also be able to
operate as an independent
facility.
Its design received a fourstar
Green Star rating by
the Green Building Council
of South Africa.
Construction of the
sky bridge across the
Heerengracht connecting
CTICC 1 with CTICC 2 will
commence in 2018.
