The building

In a large complex that hosts many types of events, the successful flow of people is fundamental. A total of 52 KONE elevators and 36 KONE escalators ensure that the different halls are filled and emptied smoothly and on time, and that movement throughout the complex is a pleasant experience for the audience.

The solution

The complex consists of 21 levels, which are served by KONE equipment. The space-saving, high-quality KONE MonoSpace® technology is known for its environmental qualities and efficiency. Specific design demands were met in this project i.e. wood surfaces were provided for elevator doors, and particularly quiet elevators were installed for moving stage sets. KONE escalators are designed to minimise noise and vibration so as not to interfere with performances.
