Calabar International Conference Centre
The Calabar International Conference Centre consists of four adjoining, sculptural volumes. The Calabar International Convention Center in the southeastern part of Nigeria is located in the scenic river delta of the Cross River State bordering Cameroun.
The building is situated on top of a hill and has a panoramic view from the foyer. The location on the middle of the hill creates a natural amphitheater with a room for several thousand people on the one side and a spectacular view of the river delta on the other side.
The volumes are cast in concrete and appear as sharply cut. The main hall can be opened up towards the outdoor amphitheatre so the technical installations of the stage can also be used in connection with outdoor events. The flexible building design allows for several types of events to take place at the same time.
The building is multi-functional and will offer the citizens of Calabar a new cultural centre that will provide the setting for concerts, film festivals and exhibitions.
