SYMBOLISM: ✓ The eight-pointed star shape is a clear visual reference point, which, like the UN, reaches out to all corners of the world. ✓ 3XN has created a central staircase as a dramatic spatial sculpture, symbolic of the UN’s work to create dialogue, interaction and positive encounters between people in all parts of the world.
STAFF: ✓ Approximately 900 UN staff from 104 countries currently work in UN City Campus 1.
✓ UN City Campus 1 is owned by three parties; ATP, PensionDanmark and CPH City & Port Development. The three parties have formed a consortium, Harbour P/S, that leases UN City to the Danish State.
