What to expect at Civic Center

The Civic Center building and area master plan was designed by the American firm Lee/Timchula Architects, which won the international design competition in 1996. The roc-wing design of the Civic Center was the first iconic building in the new city center, and the final building was considerably different from the original plans. The long roof truss was built in 1998, but wasn’t clad until 2004 due to a lack of funding. The building’s roof spans 486 meters and has a width of 154 metre. The building is 84.7 meters tall and 200,000 square metres (2,200,000 sq ft).
