Members of the European Domestic Agency's building team taking a break during last week's design review marathon: Maria Ortiz De Zúñiga, responsible Planning Officer; Rafael De La Calle, Electrical Engineer; Enrique Rodriguez, Civil Engineer; Laurent Schmieder, Head of the Division for Site, Buildings and Power supplies at the European Domestic Agency; and Ben Slee, Civil Engineer.

"We are happy to have been invited to this meeting and to see the meticulous work done by the ITER Organization's Office of Civil Construction and Jacobs Engineering," said Laurent Schmieder. "It certainly marks the beginning of an intense and constructive cooperation between the ITER Organization and the European Domestic Agency." The result of this design review will be used by the European agency to open calls for tender in order to realize the detailed designs. A presentation of these first contracts will be made this week with the "First Meeting on buildings for ITER," organized by the European Domestic Agency in Cadarache.
