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. This paper provides information on the developments since the 319th Session (October 2013) of the Governing Body. The Governing Body is invited to take note of the proposed reduced scope of the project required to retain the total cost approved in the 2010 plan while implementing necessary safety and environmental measures, and to encourage the Director-General to explore options for additional financing beyond that approved in the comprehensive plan to enable the full scope of the project to be realized.
