Addis Adaba, Ethiopia
June, 2009
Nova International has outfitted the U.S. Centers for Disease Control offices located in: Abidjan, Cote d’ivoire; Lusaka, Zambia; Abuja, Nigeria and now Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
CDC Addis Ababa is an administrative and research facility that has coordinated the Presidents’ emergency relief funds for Africa to lead the fight against HIV/AIDS.
To aid in their mission CDC Addis Ababa needed to comfortably place a larger number of staff members into their existing space. The existing furniture system was transferred to the Ministry of Health to make way for the new furniture system. Nova provided sales support, space planning and complete installation services. 60 workstations were installed, in addition to several private offices, storage systems and training and conference rooms.
