United Nations Headquarters Renovates

The United Nations Headquarters in New York is undergoing an extensive refurbishment program, also known as the Capital Master Plan. Built between 1950 and 1952, this icon of mid-century modern architecture is starting to show its age. Under the plan, the appearance of public spaces will be preserved. However, with a technologically up-to-date infrastructure, the entire complex will be greener, more energy efficient and even more secure.
