T&T expands Diplomatic centre at PM's residence

The government of Trinidad and Tobago is expanding the Diplomatic Centre at the prime minister's official residence in St. Ann's to include a new building that's nearing construction.

In a media release the government said this is the final facility "to complete the annexures to the compound of the official residence and Diplomatic Centre." It did not provide an estimated or final cost for the project.

The cost of the official residence was officially stated at around TT$148 million. The entire compound includes media and drivers’ lounges and garage facilities, the government release said.

The structure, which was part of the original concept, provides for a stage, dressing room for artistes, a holding area, toilet facilities for performers and guests, storage of equipment such as tents, tables etc.

"The Ballroom of the Diplomatic Centre only accommodates 250 guests and the new structure will enable 1,000 persons to be assembled in open air, whenever occasions arise for appropriate events," the release said.

It added, "This final building will improve the functionality of the Diplomatic Centre and bring it to optimum operating capacity as it was originally intended."
