Mol Campus Inaugurated

Mol Campus, the Hungarian oil and gas company's new headquarters in Budapest was opened this Thursday, the state news agency MTI reports.

2,500 people will work in the building to grow the company, as it is necessary to secure Hungary's energy supply, the CEO of the Mol Group, Zsolt Hernádi said at the opening ceremony.

He added that the building was designed by Foster + Partners and its Hungarian partner, FintaStudio. The interior design solutions were developed by Kinzo and Minusplus design and planning office. The construction was carried out by Market Építő Zrt.

According to Péter Ratatics, the group's managing director for consumer services, the Campus is 143 meters high and has a net floor area of 86,000 square meters.

In response to a question from MTI, he said that Mol financed the construction of the new headquarters from its own resources, but did not disclose the value of the investment due to commercial confidentiality. However, he noted that the Campus represents a value roughly 20% higher than office buildings built in Hungary.
