Federal Ministry - Prototype Project
Client: The Federal Capital Development Authority of Nigeria
Name of Project: Prototype Federal Ministry building
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Project Description: The design and construction of a prototype structure for a Federal Ministry with sufficient flexibility in design to enable adaptability for increased or differing use.
The client commissioned the Construction Division of the Chagoury Group to design a Federal Ministry, which would act as a design prototype for future federal ministry projects.
The area involved amounted to approximately 50,000 square metres and the project entailed the design, construction and infrastructure for two fourteen storey tower blocks interconnected by an elongated four storey complex, two three storey podiums, one three storey conference block and 15,000 square metres of underground car parking facilities.
The land area for buildings totalled 30,000 square metres and the structure is composed of massive reinforced concrete, spanning up to 15 metres.
The towers, Ministers' offices and Permanent Secretary's offices are designed on an open space partition system, allowing flexibility of function.
The inclusion of 15 lifts, allow for smooth passenger circulation throughout the complex.
The conference block has also been designed to allow a flexible facility capability, and includes a large conference area, a centralised industrial kitchen/catering facility, a V.I.P. reception hall and a substantial staff canteen.
