Project Overview:
Situated on the existing 10-acre embassy site just north of the Niger River, the new U.S. embassy in Niamey, Niger, replaces existing buildings which no longer meet current standards for security, life safety, and efficiency, and expands others to meet the evolving needs of the diplomatic mission. The design of the embassy respects and incorporates elements of the Nigerien landscape and traditional architecture, where simple materials help to mitigate Niger’s sub-tropical climate. Great care was taken to develop building engineering systems and landscape, stormwater, and wastewater systems which reduce the potential burden of the facility on the local utility infrastructure.
