US Institute of Peace

The US Institute of Peace (USIP) Headquarters is a 254,000-square-foot office set within a monumental building. The five-story concrete structure showcases two curving roofs. The USIP Headquarters is structured as three distinct wings flanking two atria. A five-story curtain wall system at the front of one of the atria creates a grand hall. The top three stories of the Institute's headquarters contain office space for the organization's staff. Each office features an exterior window or an interior window overlooking the atrium below. Additional building facilities include a 230-seat theater, seven conference rooms, a 2,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, a two-level underground parking garage, and a landscaped exterior plaza.
