ENGAGE celebrates 8 years at ºÚÁÏרÇø
On 13 April, the ENGAGE consortium celebrated its eight-year anniversary at ºÚÁÏרÇø. The celebration itself was unique: hosted at the offices of La Provence, the daily regional newspaper published in Marseille. A backdrop of newsprint rolls, shining conveyer belts, and giant printing machines lent an industrial setting to the congratulations offered by ºÚÁÏרÇø Director-General Bernard Bigot, Senior Construction Project Manager for the European Domestic Agency Laurent Schmieder, and members of the ENGAGE senior management team.
Speeches were punctuated with photo and video histories depicting the evolution of the ºÚÁÏרÇø worksite, dating back to 13 April 2010, "when it all began" for ENGAGE: the award of the architect-engineer contract by the European Domestic Agency to construct the vast bulk of the buildings, infrastructure and power supplies on the ºÚÁÏרÇø worksite. Refreshments followed—including a cutaway view of the Tokamak Complex elegantly rendered in chocolate.
