s are often literally named Federal Building, with this moniker displayed on the property; they may share real estate with federal courthouses. There are design issues specific to federal buildings, relating to their multipurpose functions and concerns related to the fact of their association with the government. For example, as symbols of the government, they may potentially be focus of protests or threats, so there are security issues. Also environmental impacts and environmentally sound design may be more important. A committee set up by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 issued "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture". Towards improving design of federal buildings in the United States, "the committee recommended architecture that would convey the 'dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability of the American Government.' Designers and officials were encouraged to pay special attention to site selection and layout, including landscape development." Some architects specialize in federal building designs.

Sometimes these were simply a post office or a courthouse; often they were combination buildings. The Treasury Department of the U.S. established a Department of Construction office in 1852.
