Sam nunn atlanta federal center project of the week 7 13 15
The Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center is the ninth largest federal building in the United States and the largest in the southeast. The building houses 5,000 employees for dozens of federal agencies and combines four distinct structural elements in central downtown, equaling 1,870,000 square feet (174,000 m2).
The Center is a U-shaped complex consisting of several distinct parts: a 24-story Modernist tower completed in 1997, a ten-story building, and the former main building of Rich's (department store), which opened in 1924. It also includes the eight-story bridge, six stories above Forsyth Street, that formerly connected Rich's main building to its "Store for Homes". The architect for the 1996-8 construction was Kohn, Peterson, Fox and Associates.
The building is named for Sam Nunn, U.S. senator from Georgia.
