AlJazeera Arabic Channel Building Extension

Project Description

The project is an extension to the currently operating Al Jazeera Arabic Channel Office Building. The extension building is attached to the existing building, which already includes a studio and rooms for news operations.

The extension’s total built-up area is 6,150 m² distributed over three floors as follows:

ground floor (2,750 m²): newsrooms, studios, editing rooms, offices, VIP lounge, and service facilities
first floor (1,400 m²): offices, meeting and conference rooms, and services facilities
first floor (1,400 m²): offices, meeting and conference rooms, and services facilities

The structural system adopted for the extension was selected to sustain all the vertical and lateral loads applied, with a considerable safety factor. Design services were provided for all MEP works, including pipe sizing, HVAC ducting, and electrical cabling.
