The main location is the
Theodore Roosevelt United States Courthouse at 225
Cadman Plaza East in the civic center of Brooklyn. The 15-story building was designed by
Cesar Pelli. The courthouse was designed in 1995 but did not open until 2006 following redesign requirements in the wake of the
Oklahoma City bombing and the
September 11 attacks. It replaced the six story
Emanuel Celler Federal Building (built in 1962 and located next door and connected via glass atrium). In 2008 it was renamed for
Theodore Roosevelt. The building was originally to be renamed in honor of former
New York Governor Hugh Carey but politicians backed off because Carey was alive at the time. The associated prison is the
Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. The Divisional office is in the
Alfonse M. D'Amato United States Courthouse in
Central Islip, New York. The courthouse designed by
Richard Meier opened in 2000 and is the largest building on
Long Island. The 12-story building has , 23 courtrooms and 24 judges' chambers. It is the third largest federal courthouse in the United States (after the
Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse and
Thomas F. Eagleton United States Courthouse). == Current judges ==
