The European Investment Bank (EIB) has awarded the contract for design services for its West Campus Programme to a leading multi-national consortium, after a competitive tender process initiated in 2024.
The selected consortium comprises Assar Universum Architects (Luxembourg), Assar BE Architects (Belgium), Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects (Denmark), Paul Wurth Geprolux (Luxembourg), Tractebel Engineering (Belgium), Topotek 1 (Germany), and Papaya Urbanistes et Architectes Paysagistes (Luxembourg). Collectively, these firms bring extensive expertise in large-scale building design and renovation, with a particular focus on projects in Luxembourg.
Under the signed Framework Agreement, the consortium will provide design services for an initial period of eight years, with the possibility of extension for up to three additional years. The agreement is valued at up to EUR 33 million.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in the EIB West Campus Programme, which aims to renovate and extend the West Building (WKI) while preserving its historic façade. The consortium will be initially responsible for developing the preliminary design, for submission to the EIB’s governing bodies in early 2026.
Commitment to Sustainability and Inclusion
Aligned with the EIB’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, the West Campus Programme is designed to create a modern, comfortable, and inclusive work environment for staff and visitors. The project will prioritise climate action, energy efficiency, and circularity, in line with the EIB’s role as the EU Climate Bank. It will also reflect the principles of the New European Bauhaus, integrating sustainability, social inclusion, and aesthetics to deliver a beautiful and future-ready campus.
