Following its successful pre-qualification in the first round of the procedure for the contract award for the revitalization of Congress Centrum Hamburg (CCH), at the end of the second round WTM has now landed the contract for the structural planning.
The CCH has 23 flexible-use rooms covering a gross surface area of approx. 96,000 square meters. Opened in 2007, the western section no longer meets current requirements relating to Hamburg positioning itself as an international trade fair city. Built in 1973 and with a preservation order now on it, the old structure, on the other hand, cannot sustain the changed demands in terms of spatial requirements and congress procedures.
The plans involve restructuring and renovating the building, such that it satisfies current needs, in the form of a plenary hall, group rooms that can be partitioned, as well as exhibition and communication spaces that will enable the CCH to grow further.
Subject to conclusive political decisions, the work is due to be conducted in 2017-18.
