Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building, Federal building in downtown Oakland, California.
The building comprises two identical 18-story towers reaching 268 feet in height, connected by a circular rotunda at ground level and a sky bridge linking the 13th and 14th floors.
Construction was completed in 1993 as part of Oakland's redevelopment project, officially opening in 1994 to modernize the city's civic infrastructure and house various federal agencies.
Named after Ronald V. Dellums, a former congressman and Oakland mayor who served 14 terms and championed civil rights, military oversight, and the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986.
The facility houses federal courts, the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, and other agencies, with visitors required to pass through airport-style security screening procedures.
The building gained national attention in May 2020 when a Federal Protective Service officer was shot and killed during protests near the courthouse entrance.
