The Congress Hall (Dutch: Congreshal) is a convention and exhibition centre in Paramaribo, Suriname. It is located on Onafhankelijkheidsplein, and was completed in 1999.[1]

Overview

In 1998, the Wijdenbosch government decided to build a convention centre for the 1999 CARICOM meeting.[1] The Congress Hall was to be built on the location of the Palace Hotel.[2] Шаблон:Ill was chosen to design the building.[3] Verkuijl wanted a completely transparent building. Aluminium was not an option,[4] therefore, the building was constructed using steel and acrylite, commonly known as plexiglass.[5] The Congresshall was built in six months, but initially suffered from a leakage problem which required the replacement of the stage and flooring.[1]

The Congress Hall is considered a controversial building. There are people who consider the building out of place among the historic wooden buildings in Paramaribo,[1][3][5] and a poor replacement of the Palace Hotel,[2] while others praise the vision of the architect.[4] The statues of Jagernath Lachmon and Jopie Pengel are located on the square across the building.[6]
