The United Nations General Assembly Building, located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, is a modernist four-story structure designed by a group of architects led by Wallace Harrison. Completed in 1952, it forms part of the UN headquarters complex and houses the main assembly hall of the United Nations General Assembly, the UN's primary deliberative and policymaking organ. The building measures 380 by 160 feet and features distinctive concave walls to the east and west, along with a concave roof crowned by a dome. The central General Assembly Hall seats 1,800 delegates and measures 165 feet long, 115 feet wide, and 75 feet tall, with each delegation occupying six seats facing a rostrum backed by a semicircular paneled wall. The structure also contains public and delegate lobbies, a meditation room, administrative offices, and support facilities. Though physically situated within the United States, the site operates under UN jurisdiction, exempting it from certain local regulations.
