King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, inspired by King Abdullah’s vision and now driven by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, aims to elevate the city’s economy.
As a flagship business and lifestyle destination, KAFD embodies the core values of Vision 2030, featuring world-class commercial offices, retail spaces, contemporary residences, unique entertainment offerings, and advanced smart city solutions. LundHalsey contributed to this iconic destination by supplying control room consoles to two main security control rooms through two separate system integrators.
The LundHalsey design and project management teams collaborated closely with the main project consultant, and system integrator to ensure that the design process for both the main & back up control room facilities, was efficient and to the highest standards. LundHalsey’s experience, reputation, and support with the main control room led to their direct selection by KAFD for the entire design of the Backup Control Room. The main control room houses 8 operator stations plus a supervisor station, while the backup control room includes 3 operator stations and a crisis management room. Both rooms feature improved ergonomic layouts and operator stations customised with our premium KONTROL AIR consoles. and we also provided premium meeting furniture to support meetings and collaboration. Additionally, 24/7 seating was also provided to ensure sustained comfort and efficiency for the operators during long shifts.
The project included comprehensive project management to ensure a seamless execution. LundHalsey’s involvement in KAFD’s security control rooms highlights our commitment to excellence and innovation, supporting KAFD’s vision of redefining urban living and establishing Riyadh as a premier financial hub.
