7. 行预咨委会获悉，翻修 A 至 J 号区和会议设施这两个项目独立于预算和财务角度，总计划确保在消除许多风险和满足安保、安全和出入要求的同时实现项目的目标。行预咨委会又获悉，最近对会议设施的需求评估审查了整个大院所需的工作流程和出入通道路线，还考虑到安保和安全要求，包括联合国内罗毕办事处工作人员与访客和代表在吉吉里大院的行人道和车道明确分开，以优化日常业务运作。行预咨委会还获悉，A 至 J 号区目前的占地面积被用作早期工程构成部分的所在地，包括 2021 年初拆除的 J 号区原址上正在建造的新配楼(后勤大楼)；出版事务楼的位置与以前报告的相同(A/73/344，第 19-21 段)；现有的出版事务楼经过重新设计，已不再需要建造新的出版事务楼，对周转空间的需求也减少了，因为翻修后的出版事务楼比原先预期更早地提供了新的办公空间；新大楼的拟议位置避免了可能耗时的分期施工，也不需要额外的周转空间，因为在新大楼交付使用之前，所有客户和租户仍可使用原来的办公室。
7. The Advisory Committee was informed that the two projects, namely, renovation of blocks A–J and the conference facilities, were independent from the budgetary and financial perspectives and that the master plan ensured that project objectives were met while eliminating many risks and addressing security, safety and access requirements. The Committee was also informed that the recent needs assessment for the conference facilities had resulted in a review of the workflows and access routes required across the complex, also considering security and safety requirements, including a clear separation of pedestrian and vehicle routing of United Nations Office at Nairobi staff and of visitors and delegates across the Gigiri complex for optimized regular business operations. The Committee was also informed that the current footprint of blocks A–J was used as the location for the early works component, including the new annex building (logistics building), which is being built on the site of the block J that was demolished early in 2021; that the location of the publishing services building remained the same as previously reported (A/73/344, paras. 19–21); that redesigning the existing publishing services building had eliminated the need to build a new service building and reduced the need for swing space, given that the renovated publishing services building provided new office space earlier than previously expected; and that the proposed location for the new building avoided a potential time-consuming phasing of the construction and did not require additional swing space, given that all clients and tenants would remain in their offices until the new building was ready for occupation.
