New construction and renovation of a concert hall (Queen Elisabeth Hall) with congress centre.

Who isn’t familiar with the Queen Elisabeth Hall? Big stars like Jacques Brel and Bruce Springsteen performed there. We built a new hall in precisely the same location with even more international allure as part of the Elisabeth Center Antwerp, a brand-new concert and congress centre for (inter)national performances and conventions. The new Elisabeth Hall has a maximum capacity of 2,000 seats and is narrower, deeper, and taller than the old one. Wavy, wooden wall cladding contributes to some of the world’s best acoustics: 9.3 out of 10. The Elisabeth Center Antwerp is equipped with the latest facilities and technical equipment, having been built according to the latest standards in terms of sustainability and the environment.
