The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that it will inaugurate its new headquarters in Lausanne on Olympic Day, June 23. This year, the symbolic day will also coincide with the 125th anniversary of the creation of the IOC. The new Olympic House will allow the organization to bring together under one roof its 500 employees, who are currently spread across four locations in Lausanne. The project has been developed by 3XN, a Danish architecture firm, which was selected by the IOC in April 2014 after an international competition, in partnership with the Swiss architects of IttenBrechbühl, who oversaw the construction work. From June 23 onwards, the IOC will have two Olympic centers in Lausanne: Olympic House in Vidy and the Olympic Museum in Ouchy, also in the Lausanne area.
