Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre’s innovative building design also reflects the airbridge theme. Developed by the architects Terance O’Rourke, the look and feel of the structure draws heavily on Farnborough’s association with aircraft testing and development in Farnborough’s famous wind tunnels, as well as reflecting the modern-day look of local buildings such as the neighbouring Aviator hotel.
Building work on the new Hall 1 at Farnborough International’s new Exhibition and Conference Centre is progressing as the main contractor, Wates Construction, begins with the venue’s 1,300-tonne steel frame.
