Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Chinese: 臺北南港展覽館; pinyin: Táiběi Nángǎng Zhǎnlǎnguǎn), also known as TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall or TaiNEX, is a superimposed purpose-built exhibition complex in Nangang District, Taipei, Taiwan. It consists of two exhibition halls and is located to the northeast of the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC), about a 15-minute drive from the TWTC along the Huandong Expressway.
Hall 1 (TaiNEX 1)[edit]
The complex has the capacity to host 2,626 standard-size (3 m × 3 m) booths and occupies an exhibition space of 47,000 m2. Construction began in March 2005, costing US $110 million, and was completed in 2008.[citation needed]
Lower exhibition floor[edit]
The exhibition hall on the ground floor has a total of 23,905 m2 with a capacity for 1,314 standard-size exhibition booths, with each booth measuring 3 m × 3 m. Its lowest ceiling is 9 meters high and floor loading weight capacity is 5,000 kg/m2. Electricity and water supply lines are paved beneath the floor surface. The floor can be divided into three areas to accommodate three events taking place at the same time.
Upper exhibition floor[edit]
The 23,104-square-metre area has a capacity for 1,312 standard-size vendor booths, a column-free hall on the fourth floor with an average clearance height of 18 m. It is a sufficient venue for large-scale trade shows, conventions, sports or other events. It has a floor loading capacity for 2,000 kg/m2 with concealed electricity and water outlets.
Two large entrance halls, 1,200 m2 and 850 m2 respectively, are located both on the ground and the fourth floors and can be used for registration, meeting areas, information distribution, and other pre-function activities.
