A result of the innovative project signed by Massimiliano Fuksas, the exhibition centre has eight pavilions (two of them are two-storied). These pavilions are practically without any pillars or structural encumbrance, in order to ensure extraordinary accessibility and visibility to all stands. Each pavilion covers a surface of about 37,000 sq. m, has a reception, bars and restaurants, conference rooms, office areas.

Every stand has a 100-megabit optical fibre plug and a telephone line. In the whole fairground it is possible to use wireless services, with Wi-Fi access points separated from the services. Mounting and dismounting of stands are facilitated thanks to the special care dedicated, in course of project execution, to the optimization of conveyance means motion.
