This new Cultural Centre integrates the industrial character of the old EAC structure of the 1940s with a modern architectural expression. The facility features a large exhibition space for both temporary and permanent displays, an amphitheatre for projections, dining areas, a bookstore and a library situated in a mezzanine level. The design thoughtfully maintains the building’s historical essence while incorporating contemporary elements, offering a versatile platform for cultural activities.
