The keys for the Joint Worksite III (JWS 3) building were officially handed over by Agence ITER France (AIF) to the ITER Organization on 27 May. Financed by F4E, the construction of the temporary office building has been delegated to AIF. This responsibility has been carried out on time and within the budget.

Ten members of F4E staff as well as over 90 staff members from ENGAGE Consortium and Apave will move into the two upper floors of the building at the end of the week. ENGAGE Consortium won the Architect Engineer contract for ITER Buildings and Civil Infrastructures earlier this year; Apave won the Health and Safety Protection Coordination and Legal Inspection Services contract during the same period. The fact that these staff members will now be working from the new building is an important milestone as it signifies the debut of the detailed designing of the ITER building on site.
