Hale Boggs Federal Complex, Federal complex and courthouse in Downtown New Orleans, United States.

The Hale Boggs Federal Complex is a federal building and courthouse in downtown New Orleans, built in 1976 in the Modernist style. It occupies a city block between Poydras Street and Magazine Street and pairs a 14-story office tower with a connected 6-story courthouse housing the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and federal agencies.

Built in 1976 in the Modernist style, the complex was named for Hale Boggs, the Democratic congressman from Louisiana who disappeared over Alaska in 1972. The building carries his name as a memorial to the politician.

The building's public spaces hold two sculptures: 'Out of There' by Clement Meadmore and 'Silent Struggle' by Lucas Samaras. They place contemporary art in the corridors and plazas of a working federal courthouse, so people passing through on official business walk past them.

The complex sits in downtown New Orleans between Poydras Street and Magazine Street, a short walk from the streetcar and bus lines along Poydras and Canal Street; the city has no subway. Because it houses a federal courthouse and agencies, expect security screening at the entrances and restricted access to courtrooms and offices.

The building is named for Hale Boggs, the Democratic congressman from Louisiana who vanished over Alaska in 1972; the 1976 complex carries his name. Look for the Modernist lines of the exterior, a style chosen for this federal building-courthouse.
