An architectural look at the United Nations campus and its renovations

In 2007 the United Nations initiated a multi-year, $2 billion renovation, the most extensive renovation since its construction. Sustainability, security, accessibility, fire and safety compliance, and internal infrastructure drove the renovation priorities. As a world sustainability advocate, the UN leads by example with its campus renovations. Of paramount importance was the decision to renovate, as opposed to demolishing the complex in favor of new construction. This presentation will cover the history of the initial construction of the UN and then focus on the scale and staging of this complex historic preservation project and measures incorporated into it.Please help the NAC support artists. By making a donation with your registration, you contribute directly to the NAC Artist Fellows program, helping to further the careers of up-and-coming artists.This program will be hosted via Zoom. You will receive additional details upon registration.
