United States Institute of Peace Headquarters

The United States Institute of Peace Headquarters, located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C., serves as the permanent home for the USIP, a government-funded think tank focused on peacemaking. Established in 1984, the building was completed in 2011 and is notable for its environmentally friendly design by architect Moshe Safdie. Situated near the National Mall, it overlooks significant landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial. The headquarters has a rich history, including a contentious legal battle over its control in 2025, and is recognized as the first LEED Gold certified building on the National Mall, symbolizing peace in the capital's skyline.
