The Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) – a key player in Sarawak’s Business Events industry since its opening 16 years ago – is currently undergoing an expansion, in response to increasing demand for larger and more flexible event spaces for business events.
BCCK’s chief operating officer, Rayner Simon, told TTGmice: “The expansion is a natural next step, ensuring we can continue supporting our partners, clients, and the state in hosting even larger and more ambitious events in the years ahead.”
Slated for completion in 2028, the new facility, known as BCCK2, will be located directly adjacent to the current venue. Both venues will be connected by a 70m-long sheltered, climate-controlled sky bridge, ensuring easy and comfortable access between facilities for all guests.
BCCK2 will have a 5,936m2 flexible main hall which can accommodate up to 9,500 people in theatre-seating or 340 exhibition booths, divisible into three halls; a multipurpose hall which can seat 1,000 people in banquet-style; 20 breakout rooms; a riverside concourse; and a five-level car park with 1,000 bays.
“In addition, the new BCCK2 will be rated ‘Bronze’ for GreenRE and ‘Certified’ under the Green Building Index, further emphasising our commitment to sustainable development,” said Simon.
Upon completion of BCCK2, the entire BCCK facility will have 34 breakout rooms, two large halls, and multiple multipurpose event spaces, 1,600 parking bays and EV charging stations.
Simon shared that the expansion also aligns closely with Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030, which aims to position Sarawak as a leader in sectors such as green energy, digital transformation, healthcare, education, and more.
