One year on and the spacious new offices have quickly become home to the ever-growing FIM Family who have been able to enjoy the striking new structure that also incorporates the FIM’s new Tech Lab, which is the pinnacle of motorcycling innovation and is used to showcase the FIM core values.
Far more than just a physical construction, the new HQ represents a vibrant and positive future for the FIM, where those who will live within its walls and characterize the one hundred and twenty-three National Federations, six Continental Unions and nearly four hundred people, who work each week collectively to ensure millions of global fans are able to enjoy the great spectacle that is modern motorcycle sport.
The design of the new FIM headquarters embodies the essence of motorcycling, reflecting the values and the spirit of the sport, together with fraternity, collaboration, and communication that unite the passionate motorcycling community. Having been a leader in promoting environmental sustainability within motorcycling since 1994, this is reflected in the design and operation of the new headquarters, where every decision was made to minimize environmental impact. The FIM has prioritized environmentally friendly construction materials by selecting low-carbon, bio-sourced, geo-sourced, and reused options that comply with Swiss standards. The materials used include recycled concrete and European wood.
The fabric of the new building includes three thousand five hundred cubic meters of concrete and 13,000 square meters of framework with a combined mass of over 400 tons; more than 40 kilometers of electrical / network / fiber optic cables; over 230 windows; in excess of 2300 meters of pipework and almost 540 meters of pre-stressed beams.
Reflecting on this anniversary Jorge Viegas, FIM President stated: “Already the new building feels like home, a place where the FIM staff can fulfil their wide and varied tasks in an inspiring, comfortable and modern environment. Equally it is a place where we can welcome, host and hold meetings with our many valued key stakeholders such as promoters, partners, representatives of our national federations and members of our global FIM family. Collectively we can be proud of bringing this ambitious project to life and to now be enjoying and experiencing the benefits it offers to everyone within its walls. Equally we are excited to see the second phase of the project come to fruition soon, when the FIM Racing Motorcycle Museum has its official opening in early December.”
Reinforcing these comments Damiano Zamana, FIM Deputy CEO and Operations Director added: “It seems incredible how fast the first year has passed and how quickly we have adapted to our new and improved surroundings. The design and extra space have created an excellent working environment and one that has promoted and enhanced communication and collaboration amongst the wider FIM Family. On a human level it is a pleasure to feel the increase in energy and passion amongst the FIM staff, as they richly deserved this new working ‘home’. Similarly, we have been proud to welcome guests including FIM family members to our new headquarters, as it is a physical symbol and reminder of the FIM’s future ambitions.”
