Administration Building, Carnegie Institution of Washington
Administration Building, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Research center at P Street, Washington DC, United States.
The Carnegie Institution Administration Building features a limestone facade with a monumental portico supported by ten Ionic columns and a balustraded roof.
Andrew Carnegie established this scientific research institution with a 10 million dollar endowment in 1902, and the building was completed in 1910.
The building stands as a representation of early 20th-century American philanthropy dedicated to advancing scientific research and human knowledge.
The administration building served as headquarters until 2021, when Qatar purchased it, prompting the institution to relocate to Broad Branch Road NW.
The structure includes a 450-seat auditorium and received National Historic Landmark status in 1965 for its educational and scientific importance.
