Expo 2021 Sustainability Pavilion

The Brief

Expo 2021 appointed Omnium as Cost Consultants to both the Sustainability Pavilion and the Mobility Pavilion on the Expo site. We are proud to be associated with both Signature Pavilions, which along with our support for Santiago Calatrava on the UAE Pavilion demonstrates the breadth and depth of our expertise in handling unique projects. Managing Director Nicholas Harris’ relationships with the Expo 2021 and Emaar teams have enabled us to showcase how we add exceptional value through our pre and post contract QS services, and Nicholas now leads the delivery of Omnium’s value engineering, strategic and procurement advice to ensure that the Sustainability Pavilion becomes a worldwide focal point for environmental awareness.

Omnium’s Experience

Working alongside Emaar Properties, Expo 2021 and Grimshaw Architects, Omnium’s team’s niche Middle East expertise is applied highly effectively on the Sustainability Pavilion. We have advised on the unique environmental conditions in the region which will affect how the Pavilion is constructed, ensuring that the building meets its target of net zero energy, water usage targets and, above all, achieves Platinum LEED status to make it one of the largest and most prominent buildings in the world with such an award. Our work encompasses advising on the construction aspects of the Pavilion itself, together with the surrounding gardens and pathways that will facilitate crucial conversations during Expo on long-term global sustainability.
