The new headquarters of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) were officially inaugurated this morning (11) by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and IAAF President Lamine Diack, in the presence of Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee.
The new operational headquarters of the IAAF are situated at 6-8, Quai Antoine 1er, which is on Monaco's main port of Herculis.
For the first time since the IAAF first moved to Monaco in 1994, the IAAF has been able to gather the IAAF General Secretariat and seven other IAAF Departments: Broadcasting, Communications, Competitions, Development and Member Relations, Finance and Administration, Medical and Anti-Doping, and Technology and Information under the same roof.
In addition, the IAAF has ensured that both the building work necessary to complete the new offices as well as the future maintenance, will conform to strict European guidelines about sustainable use of energy, as a commitment to the IAAF’s social responsibility programme ‘Athletics for a Better World’.
