Ground was recently broken for the new U.S. Embassy Hanoi campus 15, located in the Cau Giay district of Hanoi, Vietnam. The celebration was a demonstration of the enduring commitment to the United States-Vietnam relationship during the 10th anniversary of the Comprehensive Partnership and attended by U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Marc Knapper, Vietnam Foreign Mister Bùi Thanh Sơn, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People Committee Dương Đức Tuấn, alongside representatives from the U.S. Mission in Vietnam, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations and other U.S. and Vietnamese officials.
The embassy’s design embraces the modern urban landscape and natural beauty of Hanoi, as well as incorporates the latest in sustainable design features. Drawing inspiration from the rice paddies that surround the region, a terraced landscape solution has been applied to mitigate rainwater, and all major structures are elevated 1 meter above the projected flood plain. Sustainable materials with high-recycled content, low-embodied carbon and low levels of volatile organic compounds will be used to ensure a healthy and energy-efficient interior.
