The North Lawn at UN Headquarters, which was replaced six years ago with a temporary building, should be restored to its former glory by next spring.

That’s according to the man in charge of the demolition and restoration project, Assistant Secretary-General Stephen Cutts.

Work is well underway to tear down the North Lawn Building, which served as a temporary home for hundreds of UN staff as well as key events such as the 2013 General Debate of the General Assembly.

Matthew Wells reports on the demise of a building that’s being welcomed by many, but for some, is tinged with sadness.
