The multi-purpose theater will have a number of lifting stages and self-folding seats, able to realize a flat ground of 600 square meters to meet any requirements of performances, meetings, fashion shows and exhibitions, etc.  Image Courtesy © The Architectural Design and Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology  Image Courtesy © The Architectural Design and Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology Over the multi-purpose theater will be a variety of conference rooms, with independent foyers provided to form a conference center through combination with the multi-purpose theater by utilizing the shared advantage of being close to business, office and star hotel resources. Commercial spaces will be provided on the first floor and underground and a three-dimensional art shopping and leisure center will be established to produce a scale effect and stimulate the tourism industry.
