City of Cape Town gives CTICC site expansion thumbs up
On 6 September 2017, the City of Cape Town’s executive mayor, Patricia de Lille conducted the final site inspection of the Cape Town International Convention Centre’s (CTICC 2) expansion with CTICC’s chief executive officer, Julie-May Ellingson before contractor’s hand over the building for occupation.
The mayor’s inspection included a tour of the main conference and exhibition halls, meeting pod rooms, and the facility’s extensive back-of-house areas. These include the control room with state-of-the-art building management systems as well as the facility’s hot, cold and pastry kitchens. The mayor also viewed the centre’s open-air rooftop terrace, with views of the city and Table Mountain.
“In July 2014, I broke the first ground at the construction site. Now, in September 2017, we are standing in the impressive, light-filled reception hall of CTICC 2. This has been a long journey, but it’s only through focused and visionary leadership by the city and its partners that we can welcome even larger events and conferences to our shores and take this city to greater heights. Today I’m even more proud to say that the CTICC is indeed a key driver of our efforts to position Cape Town as a forward-looking, globally competitive business city,” said De Lille.
