La Passerelle

Background

La Passerelle was originally built in the early 1970s as an enclosed bridge on the third and main conference floor, connecting the buildings of the Palais des Nations. Its current structure is rusted and requires full structural restoration and upgrades, given its central location and heavy daily use by delegates.

Scope

Its restoration would not only ensure safety and durability but also provide an opportunity to adjust its architecture to suitably showcase exhibitions and creative installations.

Impact

Safety and security of conference participants will be enhanced through renovations.

Improved thermal efficiency and energy savings by using durable materials and refined lighting.

Installation of ceiling-mounted magnets for displays and integrated power outlets for screens.
