Energy Centre, Commercial skyscraper in New Orleans Central Business District, United States.
The Energy Centre is a commercial skyscraper in downtown New Orleans with a distinctive parallelogram shape and a series of tiered bay windows running up its face. The building rises prominently above the surrounding area and contains extensive office space across its many floors.
The building was completed in 1984 during a period of strong commercial expansion in the city's business district. It has survived major storms and natural events while remaining a functional office tower.
The Energy Centre represents the economic evolution of New Orleans during the 1980s, marking a period of substantial commercial development.
The building stands in the heart of the business district and is easy to reach by public transportation or on foot from nearby streets. You can view the exterior architecture from various angles and points around the downtown area.
At the top of the building sits a large mechanical system hidden behind specially designed false windows that are part of the overall facade design. Most people passing below don't realize these upper windows serve a different purpose than the ones below.
