ENGIE will bring to the SNFCC its long lasting experience in facility management of exceptional cultural centres, such as La Scala di Milano in Italy, the Paris Opera in France and the Sydney Opera in Australia.

 

The SNFCC was developed through an exclusive grant by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. The grant included the construction and complete outfitting of the new facilities for the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera, as well as the creation of the Stavros Niarchos Park. The aim of the SNFCC is to become a urban, multifunctional complex for education, the arts and entertainment.
