About the Kigali Convention Centre
Rwanda's capital and largest city, Kigali, is home to the Kigali Convention Centre. Its address is Highway KN5, next to the KG2 Roundabout, about 6 kilometers (4 mi) to the west of the Kigali International Airport. Three Rwandan corporate investors combined their resources in 2007 to create the complex, forming a company called Ultimate Concept Limited that would own and develop it.
The complex has four main parts: the Radisson Blu Hotel Kigali, a 5-star hotel with 292 rooms on six floors; a conference center seating 2,600 people; the Kigali Information Technology Park, offering rentable office and retail space totaling 32,200 square meters (346,598 sq ft); and a museum on the lowest floor of the IT park's office block.
Construction began in 2009 to a design by the German architect Roland Dieterle, and it was completed in 2016. On July 8, 2016 the complex hosted the African Union Summit, and the 2016 World Economic Forum for Africa was held there too. Ultimate Concept Limited, the owner and developer, is a Rwandan company.

Is there a Kigali Convention Centre STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Kigali Convention Centre grows with the print: about 14 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
