Principe Felipe Congress Hall-Auditorium Official Web Site.

The most spectacular part of the structure will be its mobile roof (in the form of a dome, with steel ribs ranging from 50 metres to 100 metres in length). The use of a mobile dividing partitioning walls will allow the building to be adapted to the requirements of the events that it will host.

A three-floor, multi-storey car-park is also planned, holding up to 1.777 cars and a shopping are of almost 52.000 square metres, distributed over three, underground floors.

The large capacity of this center will provide the city with the necessary facilities allowing it to play host to large-scale national and international conferences (which it is currently unable to do, due to a lack of suitably-sized facilities). In fact, operators and organisers of large events are already awaiting the entry into operation of the building so as to include Oviedo in their schedule of events. It is expected to be totally operational in 2009.

The elliptically-shaped Conference Center (which gives the impresión of being some kind of huge, prehistoric egg in the center of the complex), is surrounded by a U-shaped building, whose base of 7.000 square metres, will primarily be used as a hotel, providing 144 rooms (including 36 suites).

The ¨arms¨ of the U-shaped building will be used as the offices for the Asturian Regional Government (covering a surface area of 11.000 square metres). The entire building will be constructed from white concrete, white-painted steel and glass.
