The New Hall of Messe Basel is complete. Its realization is a key development in the Messe Basels aim to concentrate its exhibition halls around the Messeplatz (Exhibition Square). Replacing two out-of-date halls, the new three-storey extension offers modern, flexible and versatile exhibition spaces with wide uninterrupted spans and tall 10m heights. To provide the required indoor connection to all halls, the extension bridges over the Messeplatz and creates a new covered public space called the City Lounge. This key architectural and urban planning element defines the south end of the Messeplatz and is illuminated from above by a generous circular opening.
