"*UN Headquarters Renovation*

The United Nations has embarked on a massive renovation project, 
_*between 2009 and 2015*_, the 55 year old New York Headquarters is 
being gutted and restored to its original iconic image with 
infrastructure that is contemporary, safe, efficient and environmentally 
sound.
This ambitious historic project was launched with a ground-breaking 
ceremony on 5 May 2008, marking the beginning of a five-year, $1.9 
billion overhaul of the UN landmark complex.
