USA Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 moves ahead

Details

On July 17, the ceremonial groundbreaking at the sight of the USA Pavilion for the World Expo in Shanghai, China in 2010 took place.  This is another step forward in the journey to the first-ever World Expo held in China. The USG is prohibited by statute from spending appropriated funds to support a national pavilion. Therefore, in conformity with law and prior practice, a non-governmental entity was formed to design the pavilion and raise 100% of the funding from the private sector.

After a lengthy bidding process, the Department of State signed a letter of intent in March 2008 with "Shanghai Expo 2010", a non-web_usa_pavilion_under_construction_expo2010profit group led by Nick Winslow and Ellen Eliasoph with decades of Expo and theme-park experience. Secretary Rice and Shanghai Mayor Han both provided letters of support to the group.

The Shanghai Expo 2010 group’s current design concept rests on four thematic pillars: Sustainability, Teamwork, Health, and the Chinese Community in America. The revised total budget of US$61 million includes all construction, staffing, operation, show presentations, and post-Expo building demolition and materials removal costs.

The organizers believe that the USA Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 will present a dynamic, emotional story that radiates powerful core values shared by both the Chinese and American people – sustainability, teamwork, health and the fundamental belief that America is a place of opportunity where those who seek to change the world for the better will always thrive and prosper.
