This multifunctional centre is built on a 13.000 sqm site near a forest in one of the most high-ranked suburbs of Thessaloniki. Due to the shape of the site and the limitations imposed by the building regulations, the building has the form of a linear prism covered by granite in zones. The centre contains a main auditorium of 350 seats, two smaller lecture theatres, a 400 seats restaurant and all the necessary reception and service rooms.
