Welcome Service Assistant

En juin 2010, l’UICN a achevé l’extension de son siège et a ainsi doublé la surface de ses bureaux. L’extension du bâtiment compte une série de techniques innovantes en matière de construction écologique ainsi que les dernières technologies en termes d’efficacité énergétique. Une partie du bâtiment, comprenant des salles de conférence et de réunions, est louée afin d’optimiser l’utilisation de l’espace disponible et générer des revenus. Le bâtiment comporte un centre pour les visiteurs et une cafeteria administrée par une entreprise de restauration professionnelle.
