The Pentagon Commentary

Badly damaged by the impact of a hijacked 757 jet airplane on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 at 9:43am, in the same set of attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York.

Not considered a distinguished design work, with 34 acres (13.8 hectares) of space in five concentric rings, the Pentagon is considered to be the largest office building in the world. It was originally built in record time during World War II.

The original rapid construction and choice of materials during World War II lead to a flexible plan with large horizontal spaces. A resulting lack of firebreaks in the original construction may contribute to difficulty in fire suppression.

"Directly across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia in Arlington County, Virginia, is the building that has become a synonym for the Department of Defense--the Pentagon. This enormous and busy structure had its origins during World War II. The outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 placed tremendous demands on the War Department and greatly increased its needs for office space. By 1941 department personnel worked in at least seventeen different buildings within Washington D.C. Although the department opened a new building in the northwest part of the city, it became inadequate even before it was occupied. The War Department needed a new home and a big one. ...

"The Chief of Construction Division under the U.S. Army Quartermaster General in 1941 was Brigadier General Brehon B. Somervell. He became the prime planner for what would eventually be the War Department's massive home. As an alternative to temporary facilities proposals in 1941, Brig. Gen. Somervell and his associates took less than four days to develop plans for a mammoth three-story facility to house 40,000 people. ...

"Ignoring Roosevelt's expressed size preference, General Somervell broke ground on the depot site for a building with five sides, three floors, and four million square feet of floor space. The architect was George E. Bergstrom and the prime contractor was the John T. McShain Company of Philadelphia. In October 1941 the President approved Somervell’s plans and construction proceeded at a very rapid pace. Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, a fourth floor was added to the plan, and later a fifth. To conserve steel and other metals, concrete ramps instead of elevators were used to connect the floors, and the outside walls were made of reinforced concrete. At times of peak employment 13,000 workers labored on the project. By 30 April 1942, about eight months after ground breaking, the contractor completed the first two sections of the building and War Department personnel began to move in. The building was finished by 15 January 1943. As predicted in 1941, the structure cost more than originally estimated. Answering complaints in Congress in February 1944 about the high costs of constructing the Pentagon, the War Department reported expenditures of $63 million. Later calculations put the figure above $80 million, probably close to the actual cost."
