United States Institute of Peace Headquarters

United States Institute of Peace Headquarters, Government office building on Constitution Avenue Northwest in Washington, D.C., United States.

The headquarters features five floors designed by Moshe Safdie in modern architectural style, with a distinctive white glass roof composed of over fourteen hundred panels that glows at night.

Construction of this federal building began in two thousand eight and was completed in two thousand eleven at a cost of approximately one hundred eighty-six million dollars on the last buildable site on the National Mall.

The building serves as a permanent home for a federally funded think tank dedicated to conflict resolution, hosting conferences, educational programs, and diplomatic dialogue initiatives focused on international peacebuilding efforts and policy analysis.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from eight in the morning until five in the evening, offering public access to a museum focused on peacebuilding, a two-hundred-thirty-seat auditorium, and conference spaces for educational events.

The structure was the first building on the National Mall to achieve LEED Gold certification in two thousand twelve, incorporating energy-efficient systems and a roof design inspired by the wings of a dove.
