The Zlín Congress Center, part of the Cultural and University Center in Zlín, reflects the city's legacy of culture and education founded by Tomáš Baťa. The design honors the historical U-shaped layout while blending contemporary architecture with Zlín’s traditional urban fabric. The V-shaped public space opens to the city center, featuring a glass "bubble" restaurant and a glass block "palisade" that addresses noise and climate issues while enhancing aesthetics.

The Congress Center includes a glazed entrance with cloakrooms, ticket counters, and a restaurant with a terrace. It houses two multifunctional halls: a large hall seating 837 and a smaller hall for 100. Both halls are supported by operational spaces such as rehearsal rooms, offices, and basement storage, while the top floor features a recording studio and control room. The large hall’s interior combines ribbed glass cement panels with movable seating for versatile event configurations. The double-layered glass facade and PVC membrane roof with a diatom-inspired design add a modern touch while addressing environmental and structural demands.The Center emphasizes accessibility with adaptable seating, clear signage, and advanced environmental controls for comfort and sustainability. Cutting-edge technology, including state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting systems, ensures the building is equipped for high-profile events. Combining innovative architecture with functionality, the Congress Center serves as a versatile and inclusive cultural hub for Zlín.
