Sumario:The Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) have been using in many experiments for the purpose of particle identification by the measurement of time-of-flight, thanks to its excellent timing performance. We present here a new design of a large size MRPC. It consists of double stack with three gaps of 250 μm each with long readout strips. The sensitive area is 85×85cm$^2$. The aim of this design was to reduce the applied voltage. Gas distribution tubes have been added to improve the uniformity of the gas flow to the entire sensitive area of large MRPC.
