Building questions: Headquarters building renovation project

At its 309th Session (November 2010), the Governing Body approved a comprehensive plan for the renovation of the ILO headquarters building in two phases. It also approved the replacement of the 16 main elevators in the building. This paper provides information on the progress made since the 317th Session (March 2013) of the Governing Body. It also contains information on project expenditure and financial commitments and the results of the project pilot’s initial assessment of cost estimates. The Governing Body is invited to take note of the document and the revised estimates and request the Director-General to submit proposals at its 320th Session (March 2014) on any revisions to project scope and financing options.
