Hill International Selected as Construction Manager for New National Museum of Qatar

MARLTON, N.J. and DOHA, Qatar— Hill International has received a contract from Qatar Petroleum, on behalf of the Qatar Museums Authority, to provide construction management services in connection with the new National Museum of Qatar.

The new museum’s design created by eminent architect Jean Nouvel is inspired by the desert sand rose and grows organically around the former palace. This unprecedented 21st Century institution will celebrate the culture, heritage and future of Qatar and its people. It reflects and belongs to a new era in Qatari prosperity, the country’s prominent role in the Arabian Gulf community and its world standing.

The existing Qatar National Museum is closed and the new museum, which is under construction, is scheduled to open in 2015.

“We are honored to have been chosen to assist with the construction of this iconic monument to the nation and people of Qatar,” said Raouf S. Ghali, President of Hill’s Project Management Group (International).
