Icraf Master Plan
NAIROBI, KENYA

ICRAF’s original headquarters designed by Triad in association with White of Sweden, was located on a 2-hectare site. Triad identified extra land to expand the Centre and prepared a Master Plan to facilitate fund-raising. During the fund-raising process Triad prepared detailed analyses of space requirements, collected data on requirements for different laboratories for scientists, facilitated meetings to discuss the composition of the different elements on the site and prepared alternative plans for the Centre.

This process, over a period of two years, resulted in a confirmed Master Plan which was funded by the governments of Germany, Japan and Kenya. The first phase of this plan was the construction of the laboratory and the auditorium block as illustrated elsewhere. The master planning exercise is on-going, with additional buildings being planned in 2001 and 2002 to host associated research institutions and to cater for ICRAF’s expanding operations.
