We can make the walls miraculously disappear in just 10 minutes
This is one of the World Trade Center's major bonus points: The space is designed so that we can arrange it to suit virtually any purpose. The heavy rear wall of the World Trade Hall, weighing in at 16 tons, can be rolled up at the touch of a button. The side doors to the adjoining rooms, "Rio" and "London", can also be opened wide. "Tokyo" and "New York" are likewise adjacent to one another and are equally suitable for use as lunch rooms, lecture halls or seminar rooms. And all of the rooms have easy access, from "Lima" and "Vienna" to "Sydney" and "Paris", including the extra-wide delivery entrance. Everything is on exactly the same level without any tricky thresholds to negotiate.
But, of course, the rooms would be nothing without the efficient management team in the building. They are capable of transforming a lecture theater into an exquisite banquet hall while you are enjoying an apéritif. Or they might demonstrate their flexibility by adjusting snack and meal services to suit changed timetables, providing accommodation at short notice for an unexpected number of guests, or sorting out important details shortly before an event is due to begin. Sometimes the service may simply be a matter of sewing a button back on for a guest speaker just before their public appearance. And all such problems are dealt efficiently and without any unnecessary fuss.
