On 29 September 2009, the Elicium – an expansion of one of Europe’s largest conference centres – was officially opened by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Orange. Arup was the structural engineer for the project.
The Elicium is the contemporary face of the Amsterdam RAI complex. In order to retain its competitive position as an international conference and exhibition centre, RAI realised that it needed to expand.
Designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects, the innovative Elicium building is a major addition to the city’s landscape. It was designed with the very latest environmental technologies, including climate façade and thermal storage 187m below ground.
