Urgent Warning: Rayburn House Office Building Faces Catastrophic Failure Risk

The Architect of the Capitol warns of a real risk of catastrophic failure in the Rayburn House Office Building, making renovations a top priority for fiscal year twenty twenty-seven. Aging mechanical systems, leaks, and structural problems have led to frequent breakdowns and emergency fixes costing over two million dollars. The building, opened in nineteen sixty-five, has a huge backlog of neglected maintenance. Other agencies also request funding boosts, including Capitol Police seeking over one billion dollars for member protections amid rising threats. Hearings continue this week as appropriators shape next years legislative branch spending.
