France – Exhibition centre construction work – Concession de service public pour l’exploitation du centre de congrès et parc d’expositions « Mégacité » et la réalisation de travaux d’extension et de rénovation

Located on 35 000 m², MEGACITE is an event venue that allows for the organisation of indoor and outdoor events such as trade fairs, conferences, seminars, exhibitions, shows, etc. Built in 1984, an extension of the building was completed in 2006. It mainly comprises a set of spaces composed of an auditorium with 986 seats, 4 exhibition halls of 3800 m², 2400 m², 1800 m² and 1135 m², a 600 m² multi-purpose reception area, 7 workshop rooms for 30 to 300 people, a bar, kitchens, outdoor areas allowing for the installation of marquees. The extension opened in 2006 includes an additional auditorium with 350 seats, 2 workshop rooms (70 and 90 seats), a press room, an office space dedicated to organisers. Given the state of the site, the next contract will require the concessionaire to build a modular hall of 5000 to 8000 m² for fairs, trade fairs, exhibitions and congresses, including a catering office, as well as the renovation of the current spaces. The cost of the project is estimated between 18 and 23.5 M€TTC. The construction of this modular hall will involve the demolition and redevelopment of part of the infrastructure, which will be the subject of work carried out by Amiens Métropole and will take place after 2032. Finally, the operation of the shared spaces of the Quai de l’innovation will be integrated as an option into the scope of the concession. This facility is located in the heart of the historic St Leu district and includes shared spaces representing approximately 1 900 m², including meeting rooms, tiered conference rooms for 50 to 300 people, as well as office, reception, coworking and video conferencing spaces.
