IEG, WITH THE OUTER WALLS OF THE NEW HALL, VICENZA EXPO CENTRE’S EXPANSION IS PROGRESSING
The new heart of Italian Exhibition Group’s (IEG) Expo Centre in Vicenza is starting to take shape. Six months after laying the foundation stone, the construction site is now displaying the first outer walls of the 22,000-square-metre two-level building, designed by pre-eminent architect Volkwin Marg from Hamburg-based Studio GMP. The timeline set by IEG for the development work at its Vicenza premises is progressing perfectly to schedule in accordance with the announced timetable and is preparing to enter a new phase: by the end of June, assembly work on the impressive prefabricated body, which will be positioned inside the outer walls currently under construction and already partly visible, will begin. It is exciting to see the walls of the new hall coming to life, a modern and functional structure that will be the central exhibition area of Vicenzaoro in the future and will give impetus to the other events on the calendar and to the congress area,» said IEG president, Maurizio Ermeti. «At the September 2025 edition of Vicenzaoro, buyers and exhibitors will see further progress in the architectural work, while construction will continue alongside the event with no interference whatsoever, just as at the last two editions. The perimeter of the new hall is progressing with the walls now standing 18 metres high at some points out of the planned 21,» said Mario Vescovo, director of IEG's Vicenza premises and head of operations. «In conjunction with Vicenzaoro September 2025, the entire outer shell will be practically complete. The outer walls will have been finished and the prefabricated building will be nearing completion. The latter will be an imposing architectural structure that will significantly change the area’s look. By that time, visitors and stakeholders will be able to see the potential of a fully renovated Expo Centre. In the months following the next edition of IEG’s leading international gold and jewellery trade show, work will continue with plant engineering installations and finishing works. In accordance with the announced time schedule, the works are expected to be complete by the end of next spring in time to assemble the fittings and guarantee the full use of the new exhibition areas for Vicenzaoro September 2026. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
