Dow Solutions to Power New International Olympic Committee Headquarters
Multiple Dow Solutions to be integrated within new Swiss-based Olympic House building, set to serve as the unified global meeting place for the Olympic Movement.
Following the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 earlier this year, The Dow Chemical Company announced today that multiple Dow solutions have been selected to enhance the architecture and performance of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s new headquarters building—Olympic House—in Lausanne, Switzerland. The building, set to serve as the unified global meeting place for the Olympic Movement, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the city’s establishment as the international headquarters.
Scheduled for inauguration in June 2019, the overall architecture of Olympic House is inspired by the movement of athletes, while blending with its natural park setting through elements such as rooftop gardens. Complementing the environmental surroundings, Olympic House is being constructed with the highest level of energy efficiency, long term savings and sustainability in mind, targeting the achievement of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification.
