WHO Campus Administration Building B

Nytt administrasjonsbygg for WHO

The project involved the construction of a new administration building, Bâtiment B, on the campus of the World Health Organisation in Geneva. This included extensive demolition and remediation of contaminated sites in advance to prepare the area for new construction. The project was completed with careful consideration of the site's organizational constraints.

Stort kontorbygg med høye krav

Extensive works included a programme with 8 office floors, an 800 square meter auditorium with 5 adjoining rooms, 13 translation offices, a restaurant, and a crisis room, achieving a total building volume of 122,000 cubic meters. High architectural standards were maintained throughout the construction process, ensuring the new building met both aesthetic and functional needs.

Sikker håndtering av byggeplass

The construction faced challenges such as managing very safe access to the site, traffic management on Avenida Appia, and maintaining operations in neighboring buildings. Special measures included strict demarcation of construction site areas, adapted working hours, considerations of neighborhood constraints including the nearby US mission, and management of easements for pedestrian passages.

Ferdigstilt juni 2020 av BBK

The project, led by architect Berrel Berrel Kräutler, began in June 2017 and was completed in June 2020. The completed building serves as a significant addition to the WHO's campus, enhancing its capability to support various administrative and operational functions.
