CONFERENCE CENTER

The Conference Center is comprised of a series of vertically stacked spaces. A 2000 Seat Auditorium complete with Orchestra pit and truck lift sits above two levels of Conference Program spaces, on the Lower Level an Exhibition/Banqueting Space with adjacent Kitchen and on the Upper Level a Suite of Meeting Rooms with the latest in Wi-Fi/ I.T.

A seven story Entry Foyer enclosed in a curved cascading curtain wall by day provides panoramic views from each floor of the Dublin mountains and from the quays of the river Liffey views of delegates being transported to the various levels by a bank of scissor escalators. By night the glazed foyer drum is transformed into a glowing lantern complete with cascade neon lighting.

Because of the aggressive schedule, most details were not finalized until construction was in progress where I attended Site Meetings.
