This building, raised on piloti, is in good condition. It is used for administrative offices on the upper level: the office of the director and the general secretary, the general administration staff, the accounting department, and the fair radio station. On the lower floor, it has storage rooms, a courtyard, a bar with its own kitchen, and a new VIP salon.

SUNU CICES was initiated in 2021 with the support of the Getty Foundation’s ‘Keeping It Modern Grant’ which supports the development of Conservation Management Plans (CMPs) for exceptional Modern heritage across the globe. Architects Mourtada Gueye, Aziza Chaouni, the Senegalese Ministry of Finance, and the Getty Foundation are currently undergoing a research process which will consolidate information about the site, record oral histories, and diagnose actions required for the site’s long-term conservation, with a focus on managing future changes to the site’s architectural and sociocultural value. This website represents an extension of these efforts, sharing work completed towards the site’s conservation and creating opportunities for the public to become involved. Follow us on social media to learn more about opportunities to become involved.
