A BUILDING OF THE FUTURE FOR THE EIB HEADQUARTERS<br />

In Luxembourg, a consortium comprising <strong>VINCI</strong> Construction Grands Projets and CFE is building a new 72,000 sq. metre<br />

building for the European Investment Bank under a contract with a value of €135 million. The building has nine storeys of offi ce space<br />

and three heated atriums. It will be surrounded by a cylindrical glass enclosure and have three naturally ventilated winter gardens. These two features will<br />

reduce the building’s energy consumption and atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. Work got under way in February <strong>2005</strong> and will take 28 months to<br />

complete.<br />
