Albany, New York State - Empire State Plaza

The Empire State Plaza is a colossal government office complex and the most recognizable landmark in Albany, the state capital of New York. The complex was the idea of Governor Nelson Rockefeller and constructed from 1959 to 1976. Today the Empire State Plaza houses various offices of the New York State government with more than 11,000 state employees working here. The complex is connected to the Times Union Center by a pedestrian bridge and New York State Capitol by an underground tunnel.
