The Pentagon is the headquarters
building of the United States Department
of Defense . As a symbol of the U.S.
military , the phrase The Pentagon is also
often used as a metonym for the
Department of Defense and its leadership.
Located in Arlington County, Virginia ,
across the Potomac
River from Washington, D.C. , the
building was designed by American architect George Bergstrom and built by
contractor John McShain . Ground was broken on September 11, 1941, and the
building was dedicated on January 15, 1943. General Brehon Somervell provided
the major motivating power behind the project; [5]
Colonel Leslie Groves was
responsible for overseeing the project for the U.S. Army .
The Pentagon is the world's largest office building , with about 6,500,000 sq ft
(600,000 m 2
) of space, of which 3,700,000 sq ft (340,000 m 2
) are used as offices. [6]
[7]
Some 23,000 military and civilian employees, [7]
and another 3,000 non-defense
support personnel, work in the Pentagon. It has five sides, five floors above
ground, two basement levels, and five ring corridors per floor with a total of
17.5 mi (28.2 km) [7]
of corridors. The central five-acre (20,000 m 2
) pentagonal
plaza is nicknamed " ground zero " on the presumption that it would be a prime
target in a nuclear war . [8]
On September 11, 2001 , exactly 60 years after the building's construction
began, American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and flown into the western side
of the building, killing 189 people (59 victims and the five perpetrators on board

![the airliner, as well as 125 victims in the building), according to the 9/11
Commission Report . [9]
It was the first significant foreign attack on Washington's
governmental facilities since the city was burned by the British during the War of
1812 .

The Pentagon building spans 28.7 acres (116,000 m 2
), and includes an
additional 5.1 acres (21,000 m 2
) as a central courtyard. [10]
Starting with the north
side and moving clockwise , its five façade entrances are the Mall Terrace, the
River Terrace, the Concourse (or Metro Station), the South Parking, and the
Heliport. [11]
On the north side of the building, the Mall Entrance, which also
features a portico, leads out to a 600 ft (180 m) long terrace that is used for
ceremonies. The River Entrance, which features a portico projecting out 20 ft
(6.1 m), is on the northeast side, overlooking the lagoon and facing Washington. A
stepped terrace on the River Entrance leads down to the lagoon; and a landing dock
was used until the late 1960s to ferry personnel between Bolling Air Force
Base and the Pentagon. [10]
The main entrance for visitors is on the southeast side, as
are the Pentagon Metro station and the bus station. There is also a concourse on the
southeast side of the second floor of the building, which contains a mini-shopping
mall. The south parking lot adjoins the southwest facade, and the west side of the
Pentagon faces Washington Boulevard . [ citation needed ]
The concentric rings are designated from the center out as "A" through "E"
(with additional "F" and "G" rings in the basement). "E" Ring offices are the only
ones with outside views and are generally occupied by senior officials. Office
numbers go clockwise around each of the rings, and have two parts: a nearest-
corridor number (1 to 10) followed by a bay number (00 to 99), so office numbers
range from 100 to 1099. These corridors radiate out from the central courtyard,
with corridor 1 beginning with the Concourse's south end. Each numbered radial
corridor intersects with the corresponding numbered group of offices (for example,
21](https://docx.uz/documents/d988a4ae-1d77-4b72-b99c-9c59a6856827/page_21.png?v=1)
![corridor 5 divides the 500 series office block). There are a number of historical
displays in the building, particularly in the "A" and "E" rings. [ citation needed ]
Floors in the Pentagon are lettered "B" for Basement and "M" for Mezzanine ,
both of which are below ground level. The concourse is on the second floor at the
Metro entrance. Above ground floors are numbered 1 to 5. Room numbers are
given as the floor, concentric ring, and office number (which is in turn the nearest
corridor number followed by the bay number). Thus, office 2B315 is on the second
floor, B ring, and nearest to corridor 3 (between corridors 2 and 3). One way to get
to this office would be to go to the second floor, get to the A (innermost) ring, go
to and take corridor 3, and then turn left on ring B to get to bay 15. [12]
It is possible
for a person to walk between any two points in the Pentagon in less than seven
minutes. [13]
The complex includes eating and exercise facilities, and meditation and
prayer rooms. Tours for the public were suspended after the 2001 attack .
Just south of the Pentagon are Pentagon City and Crystal City , extensive
shopping, business, and high-density residential districts in Arlington . Arlington
National Cemetery is to the north. The Pentagon is surrounded by the relatively
complex Pentagon road network . [14]
The Pentagon has six Washington, DC ZIP Codes (despite its location in
Virginia). The Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the four service
branches each have their own ZIP Code
