U.S. Embassy to Romania moves to new headquarters in Baneasa area of Bucharest
The new building was designed and constructed by a U.S. company, American International Contractors. Several Romanian contractors and construction firms helped to build the new embassy and up to 500 Romanians worked on the new headquarters. There were 1,500 Romanian specialists and workers overall, bringing USD 60 million to the Romanian economy, according to the institution.
The embassy will feature paintings, photography and sculpture by Romanian and American artists. The atrium features a mural called “Drafts and Open Windows,” a project of the Art in Embassies program that is a collaboration between U.S. artist Maggie Michael and Romanian artists.
