The central-located flagship hall, Hall 1, is the largest hall and offers an area of 19.152 m2. To the left of this central hall are Halls 2, 4 and 6, on the right are 3, 5 and 7. These identical halls all offer 4.032 m2 of space. Hall 8 was later added, this is a large multi-purpose square hall with an area of 10.735 m2 and a height of 13 meters.
