The Good Hope Centre in Cape Town, South Africa (1976) by Pier Luigi Nervi, is an exhibition hall and conference centre, with the exhibition hall comprising an arch with tie-beam on each of the four vertical facades and two diagonal arches supporting two intersecting barrel-like roofs which in turn were constructed from pre-cast concrete triangular coffers with in-situ concrete beams on the edges.
The city of Cape Town has budgeted approximately R3.5 million for the general upgrade of the venue. The venue hosts numerous events throughout the year from expo's to cultural performances. More recently it has hosted an international netball test, and will host the ITTF World Cadet finals.
The exhibition centre offers a wide range of spaces and a total of 4,500 sqm of space. As a sports arena the venue has a maximum capacity of 7,000.
