Today, an important building that has served as the headquarters for the Organisation of African Unity since 1963, promoting #panafricanism and fostering common interests and growth across Africa, has been renovated and inaugurated. The building's design was…
Project: African Hall Redevelopment
Client: United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA)
Client collaborators: UNESCO, the African Union, and the Ethiopian Government
Original building design: Arturo Mezzèdimi, 1959-61
Renovation Architects: Conrad Gargett Architectus
Principal Consultant: BE Collective (Built Environment Collective)
Project duration: 2017-2024
Historic Importance: Africa Hall was gifted by Emperor Haile Selassie I as a meeting place for African nations and headquarters for the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). It was here, in 1963, that the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was established, a key step in the formation of today’s African Union (AU).

Africa Hall, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia
"If these walls could talk they’d share stories of a royal visit from Queen Elizabeth in 1965, a painstaking labour of love by Italian stained-glass artists and the 500 pieces of (now-restored) custom-made furniture that form a perfect time capsule. Over 50 years later, the building required significant intervention that would ultimately lead to a decade-long investment to restore the building."- Architectus
