Steel workers hoist girder in place in Meeting Hall Area. Construction is scheduled to be completed in June 1951. [no date]
The temporary North Lawn building will house the General Assembly, conference facilities and the offices of the Secretary-General and staff during the renovations of United Nations Headquarters under the Capital Master Plan.
Erection of the steel framework for the 39-story Secretariat Building. The Building, which will contain the General Assembly Hall and a Conference Area in addition to office space, is expected to be ready for occupancy by the 3,000 members of the UN Secretariat in the autumn of 1950. Because of the narrowness (72 feet wide by 287 feet long) some of the largest wind braces ever developed will be used to keep the structure from swaying. Some of the concrete piers in which the steel is anchored extended forty feet into the earth. In addition to the Secretariat building the Permanent Headquarters will comprise two other units, plans for which are now nearing completion. Two workmen climbing atop the first 20-foot riveted steel column erected, to unfurl the United Nations Flag.

Headline Alteration and Improvement of Conference Rooms and Related Facilities at United Nations Headquarters 
Caption Description The rapidly expanding membership of the Organization has necessitated the expansion of the Main Conference Rooms and the Plenary Hall. This expansion is now going forward. Crews of workmen moved into UN Headquarters shortly after the delegations moved out at the end of the eighteenth session of the General Assembly. The plan calls for the expansion of the Plenary Hall and of the four main Committee rooms, the conversion of the Trusteeship Council Chamber into a conference room, and the installation of plug-in microphones on the desks of delegations in the Plenary Hall.
Here is a view of the General Assembly Hall, showing work in progress on the alterations being made.
