Hall 3A Nuremberg Trade Fair Centre
Messe Nuremberg was expanded in a first construction phase with Hall 3A. The new exhibition hall is characterised by its suspended steel / aluminium hybrid facade, which consists of welded T-profiles (mullions) and object-specific aluminium special profiles (transoms). The dead weight of the glass panels is transferred via the mullions, so that the aluminium transoms only have to bear the horizontal wind loads. In this way, a filigree supporting structure with transom spans of 5,000 mm could be realised.
Best-Rated Building in the “Places of Assembly” Category
Werner Sobek carried out a sustainability certification according to DGNB for Hall 3A. The life cycle costs were also calculated, a life cycle assessment drawn up and a daylight simulation carried out. The building achieved the highest rating level (platinum) and is the best-rated building in its class in the category “assembly facilities” to date.
The new building is located in the south-eastern part of the exhibition grounds next to the existing exhibition hall 3.
