Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza

This complex consists of ten buildings set up on a 6-story platform, which forms the plaza. The long passageway with three reflecting pools along the length is bordered on the west by the four Agency buildings and on the east by the tall Tower and the so-called "Egg." The Cultural Education Center, raised on its own platform, is at the south end while the 19th century State Capitol closes off the north end.
