Overseas Construction: Design and Construction of U.S. Embassy Complex in Moscow
This is an interim response to a request for a review of various aspects of the Department of State's construction of U.S. embassy facilities in Moscow, the Soviet Union. As requested, the report provides information on (1) design and construction problems encountered, (2) actual versus planned expenditures, and (3) other matters specifically requested. The U.S. embassy complex in Moscow is the largest construction project ever attempted by the State Department's Office of Foreign Buildings Operations (FBO). Its origin dates back to the late 1960's. The complex includes, among other things, an eight-story office building, 123 apartments, 11 townhouses, an auditorium, a 9-classroom school, a 130-car garage, a gymnasium, and other recreation facilities. With the exception of the new office building, all other parts of the project were virtually completed as of February 1987. The office building is now approximately 65 percent complete. Work is at a standstill, pending the outcome of several security and structural reviews.
