Labouisse Hall Renovation
UNICEF House at 3 UN Plaza in New York City
As part of Spacesmith’s on-call contract with the United Nations Development Corporation (UNDC), our team led the renovation of Labouisse Hall, located within the iconic UNICEF House at 3 UN Plaza in New York City. This high-profile space, used for hosting ambassadors and government officials, had long failed to reflect the forward-thinking vision and global impact of UNICEF's mission. Outdated design, poor acoustics, and a lack of cohesive branding created a jarring contrast for visitors moving between the dignified UN conference halls and the drab interior of Labouisse Hall. Spacesmith’s redesign bridged this gap, transforming the 5,372 sf facility into a polished, state-of-the-art conference center that embodies UNICEF’s humanitarian mission and progressive strategies. The renovation centered on a full redesign of the pre-function space, conference room, and associated support areas, including the green room, control room, interpreter stations, and storage facilities.
