The
Amman office of the Saudi Arabia-based consulting firm Omrania
and Associates, in a joint venture with Almarsam
Architects and Engineers, were commissioned to design
the refurbishment of a preexisting building that will serve as
the new Australian Embassy
in Amman. The 2,000 square-meter project is expected to cost
about 100,000 JD (around 140,000 $US).
Bitar
Consultants were commissioned to design primary
healthcare clinic renovations for twenty healthcare
centers located throughout Jordan. The 840,000 JD (around 1.2
million $US) project is part of the Primary
Health Care Initiatives (PHCI) program that
USAID
(United States Agency for International Development) is funding
to improve healthcare resources in Jordan. The selection of
these health centers was based on the outcome of a study that
CDG (the Community
Development Group Engineering and Management Associates) carried
out in association with the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based
policy research firm Abt
Associates.
