Two years have passed since ground was broken for the renovation of the landmark United Nations Headquarters in New York to make it safer and greener.
The process is on track and on schedule, the official in charge of the overhaul said Wednesday.
The nearly $2 billion (11,5 milliarder kroner) renewal process for the entire UN complex is set to wrap up in time by 2013 with the renovation of the Secretariat tower scheduled to be completed in 2012, Capital Master Plan (CMP) Executive Director Michael Adlerstein told the UN News Centre.
The building has been plagued by leaks, safety violations and outdated systems.
Some 5,600 people have been moved out of the UN compound and into various so-called swing spaces in midtown Manhattan.
