Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building

[1] It is located at One Columbus Circle NE in Washington D.C. adjacent to Union Station, a few blocks from the United States Capitol.

It was completed in 1992 and was designed by architecture firm Edward Larrabee Barnes and partner John Ming Yee Lee.

[2] It features a dramatic five-story tall glass atrium at its main entrance with a signature indoor bamboo forest.

Its construction completed the Columbus Circle area and was considered a long overdue addition to the Washington DC's Union Station and post office.

[3] By the terms of the innovative financing package, the Architect of the Capitol, George White, agreed to lease the site and finished building to the developer for thirty years, at which time it would revert to the government at no cost.
