The project of an experimental facility based on the VEPP-5 injection complex is described. Due to a good quality of electron or positron beams and special beam preparation system, the facility opens several possibilities for studies of the plasma wakefield acceleration: high peak beam currents, arbitrary beam profiles, long term beam-plasma interaction (up to the full driver depletion), and precise beam diagnostics. Various wakefield regimes can be experimentally demonstrated and studied: the efficient blow-out regime with a low energy spread and high acceleration rate (up to several GeV per meter); multibunch regime; long bunch instabilities; beam self-organization in plasma; plasma lens. If successfully realized, this experiment becomes a solid argument for feasibility of a high-energy collider based upon the plasma wakefield acceleration.
