Developed by Danish architecture firm 3XN, the Olympic House will allow the IOC to bring together its staff \u2013 500 employees currently spread across Lausanne in four locations \u2013 under one roof at a single site.<\/p>\n<p>From 23 June onwards, the IOC will benefit from two Olympic centers in Lausanne: Olympic House in Vidy to cater for its administration and offer a welcoming meeting place for all its stakeholders; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympic.org\/museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympic Museum<\/a> and the Olympic Studies Center in Ouchy to host the general public.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A commitment to Lausanne, the Olympic Capital<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With the opening of Olympic House the IOC confirms its attachment to Lausanne (canton of Vaud), the Olympic Capital. The first stone of the building was laid in 2015, which celebrated 100 years of the IOC\u2019s presence in Lausanne.<\/p>\n<p>The Olympic House is a privately funded investment in sustainability, operational efficiency and local development. The project represents an investment by the IOC in the local economy, just as it has done for over a century.\u00a0 The IOC partnered with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epfl.ch\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPFL<\/a>) and offered local architecture students the chance to come up with innovative solutions with regard to the reuse of materials from the former building prior to its deconstruction. A number of other projects in collaboration with local associations and schools were also initiated throughout the building process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will officially inaugurate its new headquarters on 23 June 2019 during the celebration of Olympic Day, also marking the 125th anniversary of the creation of the IOC.
