Qatar National Convention Center
Representing Qatar’s first LEED project, this facility features 15,000-m² and 20,000-m² exhibition halls, meeting rooms, prefunction areas, and back-of-house space.
MKA’s design incorporates long-span roof trusses for a 72-m-wide column-free exhibit hall and multi-story interstitial trusses to maintain the contiguous column-free space. The LEED Gold project also includes a 30-m-by-80-m connector bridge connecting the convention center to an adjacent technology park.
