The facility will contain a public atrium and entry together with an external laneway between the convention centre and new Horizon Hotel. There is 8,100m² flexible ground floor exhibition, entertainment with support spaces and a 2850 seat plenary theatre located on the level above together with breakout and pre function areas.. The project is linked to the Hobson Street Hotel with a ground floor plaza level off Hobson St and an air bridge link at the upper public level.
