Imam Raza Shrine

Canadian Tire Warehouse in Bolton, ON
A 1.6 million square foot warehouse is almost done in Bolton, ON (outside of Toronto). Should it be added to the list?

Why are we using idiotically nebulous terms like 'largest' instead of
more descriptive terms like Most Voluminous. "largest" would be okay in the simple english wiki but not this one

206.193.249.64 (talk) 12:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Because the article (as it currently stands) actually gives three separate lists, only one of which has anything to do with volume. For that reason, I'm taking the terms "this list" and "most voluminous" out of the title paragraph that refers to the article body as a whole, including all three lists.

Was wondering why New South China mall was excluded with a total of 892,000 square meters. Is it just because it's tragically empty and a massive boondoggle? --72.207.121.2 (talk) 23:34, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Buildings 9001 & 3001 at Tinker AFB
It would appear that two buildings on Tinker AFB qualify for inclusion in this list, Building 9001 at 330,000 m2 (though this may be the combined size of the old assembly building and the adjoining paint facility) and Building 3001 at 120,000 m2. Building 9001 is the former General Motors Oklahoma City Assembly plant so I would assume that many other auto plants would also qualify for inclusion. Willow Run comes immediately to mind but I don't know how much of the old plant still exists. --SEWalk (talk) 05:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hong Kong Container Freight Station
About.com claims that the Container Freight Station in Hong Kong has seven million square feet of space, but I haven't found much other reference to it. There's some reference elsewhere to the new Hong Kong airport being one of the biggest structures in the world, but I'm not sure about that either (one of the old Berlin airports is huge, though, either Tempelhof International Airport or Tegel International Airport). Probably don't rank first, but probably worth mentioning   &mdash;User:Mulad (talk) 12:51, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

Largest by area
The article says the Boeing building is the largest by volume, and that the Pentagon is the largest office building by area. Is the Boeing building the largest overall by area, as well? If not, what is? By looking at their images on Google maps, it looks like the Pentagon could easily fit inside the Boeing building.
 * What are the co-ordinates of the Boeing building on google earth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.253.244.126 (talk) 11:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The Everett factory is located at 47.9264265,-122.2707354. The floor area listed does not include office blocks and mezzanines within the factory (another ~250-300k ft^2 minimum), merely the main factory floor. A recent addition to the factory (AKA 40-27) brings the area up to ~4.5M ft^2 or 420,000 m^2 (per google maps tool). The roof height of that section is the same as the factory, so the volume would be adjusted similarly. 130.76.24.20 (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Also, it's not entirely clear in the phrasing right now: when measuring the Pentagon's area, does it count the area of the ground covered, or the total area of all floors in the building?

Since when is the Great Wall of China a building?75.16.73.21 01:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't K-25, Oak Ridge, TN USA be included? It is half a mile long and over 1000 feet wide and is has more area under a single roof then the pentagon. 87.177.1.197 (talk) 18:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

What about the McCoy bldg in Columbus Ohio? The wiki page doesn't list volume, (which seems a strange and arbitrary measurement,) but it does list square feet at 2 million. McCoy Building 174.126.29.222 (talk) 15:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Largest by length
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is 3.2 kilometers (2.0 miles) long. The Wikipedia entry says "The above-ground klystron gallery atop the beamline is the longest building in the United States." It might be interesting to add a section covering the world's longest buildings.


 * There's a contradiction in the article on this point. It says the Great Wall of China is the largest building in the world by footprint.  Well, if it counts as a "building" for determining footprint, it's a heck of a lot longer than 3.2km as well.  The article should clarify the definition of "building" and either count the Great Wall or not. PubliusFL 03:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Definition
There should be a more precise definition of what is a building and what is several buildings. For example, Coeur Défense in Paris has the same floor level as the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. But its shape is very particular (several towers on a common 3-level basement). So does it qualify as the largest European building (on par with the Palace of Parliament)? (see photos at http://www.viguier.com (20 Projets -> Chronology -> 1992) or here). Thbz 05:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * It isn't the largest in Europe anyway as the Alsmeer Flower Auction is in Europe too and much larger. But if the share the same basement I think they should be counted as one building and added to the list. -- H005 23:13, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Palace of Parliament
The ranking of the Romanian People's Palace is highly suspect. Many buildings are larger, both by floor space and by volume. Romanians consistently boast that the building is one of the largest in the world, but various research I've done puts it fairly far down the list. I don't have the figures in front of me (nor do I have time to re-research at the moment), but some of the contenders that are not listed in this article include some mega-malls and some of the new tallest-in-the-world buildings in Asia. The Great Pyramid of Cholula, Mexico, has a volume more than nine times the size, according to thefreedictionary.com. There are also larger train stations and airports. However, the "fact" that the People's Palace is one of three buildings visible from space/ well, one square meter smaller than the Pentagon/ well, one of the largest buildings in the world/ well, maybe one of the largest office buildings/ well, at least one of the largest in Europe is deeply embedded within the Romanian national discourse.

Whether it is the heaviest building is a different question, and one on which I have no information. However, any claims about its size relative to other buildings should be considered suspect pending further research. Malangali 17:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

What about this factory? The "Volkswagenwerk Kassel"in Germany (Volkswagen Factory). Look on the aerial picture you will be able to see this from space too: 4 halls of 550 meters lenght which are connected by a large 1.2 kilometers long front - shouldn't this count as one building?

http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=51.257913&lon=9.433844&z=16&l=5&m=a&v=2

here you can see the front http://www.hr-online.de/website/rubriken/nachrichten/index.jsp?rubrik=11416&key=standard_document_5447588&lugal=1&ibp=0 this article says the first 3 (of the 4) halls have 135,000, 140,000 and 120,000 square meters (together 395,000 square meters + the not listed hall 4 with estimated 120,000 and the 1.2 meters long front building would result in at least 515,000 square meters floor area and rank 9 of the buildings by largest floor area.) http://regiowiki.hna.de/Ansiedlung_des_Volkswagen-Zweigwerkes you can find a map of the area here: http://www.vw-personal.de/www/de/arbeiten/standorte/kassel/ihr_weg_zu_vw_in_kassel.html

Largest Wooden Structure in the World
Kirkland Air Force Base in New Mexico claims to have the largest wooden structure in the world. The structure in the Trestle for testing aircraft for EMP. There isn't much information on the web about it, but I found a claim at http://cryptome.quintessenz.at/mirror/6odd-eyeball.htm. Kaiser9111 16:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

The Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA, USA "is 530 feet in diameter and 152 feet tall." according to their official website: http://www.tacomadome.org/history.aspx I believe that is larger than the Tōdai-ji which is listed here as the largest wooden structure in the world. --Neemund (talk) 08:32, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

The airship hangar at Tillamook, Oregon has about 28,000 square meters of floor space making it about a third larger than the Tacoma dome and about ten times the size of the Great Buddha Hall. I believe the airship hangars at Tustin, California are of similar dimensions to Tillamook. They stand a thousand feet long, nearly 300 feet wide and nearly 200 feet tall, and inside it's all clear space. They are clearly buildings--they have roofs and walls and are completely enclosed from the elements--and while they use metal fasteners they are of the sort of construction that most people think of as "wooden" so I can't think of a reason why one of them should not be listed as the largest wooden building. 70.172.201.34 (talk) 02:14, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Seconded on the Tillamook hanger, it's a wood building - they built the hanger during WWII when they had to use metal for other things. According to this: http://www.tillamookair.com/html/bldg.html - it's 205,824 sqft  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.32.88.40 (talk) 07:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I removed Todai-ji. Whatever the largest wooden building is - it's certainly not that. Hotel Del Coronado may be the largest I can find, though the hotel itself doesn't seem to boast of it. A couple sites say it has just under a million square feet of space - http://www.timesharepages.com/finance/hotel-del-coronado-gets-extension-on-mortgage-repayment/  Of course, it really depends what your metric is for "largest"... is it cubic feet of space occupied? Is it the square feet of the structure's base footprint? Or is it the square feet of total floorspace? (in which case multi-floored buildings have an edge over a big hollow hangar). 66.167.106.217 (talk) 02:07, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Beijing Airport Termnal 3
The building area is 986,000 sq m, height is 45m, so the volume should be 44 million cubic m. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.10.40 (talk) 22:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Would somebody with greater skills than I possess update the site to show that the new Terminal 3 at the Beijing International Airport, due to open Feb 29, 2008, is now, I believe, the largest building coming in at 1.3 million m2 or 14 million ft2. Please see http://www.fosterandpartners.com/News/328/Default.aspx 68.198.49.161 (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * After checking the article and some of the pictures I think the terminal is made up of three or maybe four seperate buildings. In the Foster and partners article it suggests 1.3 million sq meters of floor space 'mostly under one roof'. I'm confident that one or two of these buildings will definately belong on the list, we just need to find find a reliable source that states the size of each building. C Stubbies 17:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Here is a picture showing the layout of the terminal. It cleary shows at least three seperate buildings. If they are connected by a basement of some sort it could be an exception but until it is proven by a reliable source, it shouldnt be on the list C Stubbies 18:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Steel Mills
Modern steel mills usually keep caster and rolling train under one roof to avoid reheating of the slab before rolling. Some of them reach 1500m and more in length, about 300m in width and 30m in height, thus covering more area and space than most of the listed buildings, if not all. I know of two mills of this size currently under construction in Magnitogorsk and Nischni Nowgorod, 8 mills of the same type (5000 mm plate mill) already exist in Japan and Germany. Maybe we should take these buildings into account, too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Käptn Weltall (talk • contribs) 09:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Largest usable space
There may be some redundancy in the section between the text and the table. Other opinions would be welcome. Thanks. -- T HE F OUNDERS I NTENT  TALK 19:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The section should explain what is meant by "usable" space. Do people build buildings with large amounts of unusable space?  Is floor area or volume the important measure?  Does it refer to the space within a single "room"?  Can there be supporting columns to hold up the roof?  I am not sure why the McDermott building is mentioned in the text.  If user 167.24.104.150 is right, I would expect to see it in the "Largest area" list. JonH (talk) 10:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

How detailed should the list of Special Categories be?
The list of Special Categories can easily be enlarged a lot of. It is possible to make very specific categories and thus getting hundreds of them. I personally think we could keep adding categories until it starts to "look silly". After that we can simply lift the list of Special Categories out to a separate page and only leave say the 10 most important or so.

Does anyone have an opinion on if we should keep adding categories or if we should keep an upper limit?

Shahin-e-iqbal (talk) 16:38, 8 August 2010 (UTC)== Angkor Wat is not that large == Angkor Wat is listed as having floor area of 1,000,000 m². The main temple is only about 250 m times 150 m and is only in one level. That would give it a floor area of roughly 37,500 m². The entire compounds it probably around 1,000,000 m² but most of that is forest or open spaces. Check out the article about Angkor Wat and you'll see that I'm right. Since this article is about the largest buildings I don't think forests and lawns should be included. Just like the parking lot are not included when you determine the size of a shopping mall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.227.58.24 (talk) 09:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Even if you're going to include open space in these rankings, Angkor Wat may not be the largest religious building. The figures in the article on Angkor Wat say its outer wall encloses only 820,000 square meters, which is much less than the million square meters given here. If Angkor Wat is going to stay in this position, it needs a citation. A. Parrot (talk) 23:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have replaced it by the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca becasue the mosque covers more than 4,000,000 sqr m of useable area and is also the most sacred site for the muslims (hence a religious site).Shahin-e-Iqbal (talk) 22:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Largest by volume?
Shouldn't there also be a list of the largest buildings where the definition is by volume rather than by floor area?

Large Hadron Collider
In my opinion Large Hadron Collider should be included on this page (unless there is a larger particle accelerator somewhere). Does anyone object to me adding the category "Largest Particle Accelerator" or "Largest Circular Building" or "Largest Research Building"? One problem is of course that it is mostly housed in a tunnel and not in a building. Does anyone have an idea of a way to include LHC without violating the intent with the article?

Year of construction/completion?
Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to add to the tables when these structures were built or completed? It's one particular piece of info I was looking for in reading this article and it's noticeably absent. Many of these buildings were the largest in the world in their category at some point before being superceded by the next one, so adding one column giving simple chronological info I think would be very relevant.--137.122.49.102 (talk) 15:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Historical largest buildings
I believe that there should be a list of historical largest buildings by floor area and/or that dates of construction should be included in the charts to give readers a time line type reference.

Many of the "buildings" in the list are a complex of several buildings, including the "Jakarta Central Park" and the Towers in Saudi Arabia.

List of largest airport terminals in the world
If there exists a list of the largest shopping malls in the world, then why isn't there a list of largest airport terminals in the world? In the "List of largest buildings in the world" article, twelve airport terminals are listed under the section titled "largest floor space":


 * Dubai International Airport Termimal 3
 * Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3
 * Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1
 * Suvarnabhumi Airport Terminal 1
 * Mexico City International Airport Terminal 1
 * Barcelona Airport Terminal 1
 * Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3
 * Incheon International Airport Terminal 1
 * Madrid Barajas Airport Terminal 1
 * Toronto Pearson International Airport Terminal 1
 * Soekarno–Hatta International Airport Terminal 3
 * Narita International Airport Terminal 1
 * Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3

At various other airports, other terminals with a floor area of at least a million sq ft are likely to exist. So, can a plan to spin-off the airport terminals into their own list be considered or should the large airport terminals remain in this article? Jim856796 (talk) 21:39, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Buildings that need to be added
The Dubai Pearl is larger than any building on this list. According to wikipedia, it is 1.85 million square meters, and some estimates take it as far as 20 million square feet. The structure is under construction and even though it has a heigh of 984 feet, it appears to be longer than it is tall.

CCTV
Why isn't the CCTV Headquarters on this page? It has a floor area of 389,079m^2. (See http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=8094)

Proposed split
I think this article should be split in two. One article for the largest buildings by volume, and one for the largest buildings by floor space. This talk page is getting very confusing. When someone suggests adding a new building, it is not always clear which list they want to add the building to.

IKEA

I'm surprised not to see the Millenium Dome not listed here. Its diameter is 365m making the notional space 104,634m2 and height 52m making the volume 2.794 million m3. I haven't added it yet as there may have been objections that it is a temporary structure. But it was originally an exhibition hall and now houses permanent entertainment facilities. Clearly its life will not be as long as some other structures but does that disbar it? Chris55 (talk) 10:33, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Is the millenium dome actually a proper building? I have never been in it but I always believed that it was a large marquee over several smaller buildings. If it is only that then it is the buildings inside that should count, not the entire dome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.64.202 (talk) 12:00, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

This one came to mind for me, as well! In fact, there are several large motor vehicle spare parts warehouses globally that should also be listed here.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Why isn't there a list of the most massive man made structures? We seem to have everything else???
How about a list of man made structures over 5 million tones??? or 5.5 million tones?

It is a very interesting statistic and there seems to be no information on it.

The Giza Pyramid is estimated to be 5.9 million tonnes.

Is there any structure more massive, either a building or a dam?

What about the sulfur step pyramids of Alberta Canada? Together there mass is 8.9 million tones, but the biggest might only be about 5 million tones? http://williamahuston.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-great-sulfur-pyramids-of-alberta.html

Oh it looks like dams can be more massive than pyramids, but not by much: The hoover Dam weights about 6.6 million tonnes, but that is the only dam I can find. http://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/faqs/damfaqs.html

I found a little more information on some huge sky scrapers, it looks like reasonable estimates and you can see how much less massive skyscrapers are, but it might be interesting to have them in the list for comparison?: Taipei 101 weighs in at a staggering 700,000,000 kg or 771,000 tonnes World Trade Center 1 or 2 estimated to 500,000,000 kg or 551,115 tonnes Empire State Building, NYC = 365,000,000 kg or 402,303 tonnes I got this info at this forum: http://www.physforum.com/What-was-the-weight-of-a-WTC-Tower_4299.html

Any ideas how to get more of this kind of information? It should just be a simple calculation for most man made objects like dams etc.

The largest floor area building must have around 11,7 million cubic meters, based on its dimensions (100*400*500 with some irregularities).

Largest Footprint Measurement
I'm not sure why people have tried to use Google Maps to approximate the surface area? That will be incredibly inaccurate.

What you should do is use OpenStreetMap to trace the outline of the building you are interested in. If it is already there, then you don't have to do anything. Then, download the shapefile of the single building using something like Overpass Turbo. Finally, use any GIS software (maybe QGIS) or just use a Python function to calculate the area of the building. This will actually be accurate, rather than just approximating.

--Karsonkevin2 (talk) 17:54, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

I went ahead and added all the buildings for Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. My methodology was to download an extract of the entire shape from http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us.html. Then, using QGIS calculate the area of every building in the state. From there, I manually checked every building with over 66,000 sq meters to verify the extent. The shapefile includes the OSM iD, so you just have to replace something like this with the appropriate id to check https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/422584100. Some buildings are vandalism, they don't actually exist. Other buildings are just mapped very inaccurately and need to be refined to get the actual area. I checked buildings down to 2/3 * 100,000 since some buildings might be broken up into parts. For instance, a mall might be mapped as a large central area, but then the outer facing shops might have separate areas. For these buildings, I resorted to my previous strategy of using Overpass Turbo to download all the buildings, calculate the area in QGIS, and then added together the relevant areas.

--Karsonkevin2 (talk) 16:28, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

At the rates of IA, IL, WI, MN, MO, WY, NE, MN the US will have 1,200 buildings over 100k sq meters. I think the threshold for being included in the list will need to be raised. Assuming the same occurrence of large buildings globally, there would be about 28,000 buildings over 100k sq meters

Older historical large buildings
I belive it would be appreciated to have older, historically important buildings, in the list. As a comparision. Most of the one listed are factories... and how frequently do real people get to see these?

Berlin Tempelhof Airport was for a long time one of the largest buildings, and many people can still see it, easily. It would be interesting to see its size, as a comparision. Pyramids in Egypt... Colosseum... Tower of London, Versailles palace. Empire State builinding, Chrysler building, Madison Sq Gardens, Grand Central Stn, Union station... Building that where impressive, for a long time after being build. To compare current large places, with older large places.

It would probably be best to list such buildings separately, so they do not interfere with the modern list. Then K-25 could go into that list. No, I have no time, just the interest, so I am not going to do anything. --Janwikifoto (talk) 11:30, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Maybe. Not that I think it would hurt as long as it can be written with reliable sources. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 11:00, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

the Quetzalcóatl Pyramid is still the is still the 7th largest building in the world which has a volume of  4.45M^3. but there probably just for tourist. but the Quetzalcoatl pyramids isn't on the list for this wikipedia page and the publishers forgot the Quetzalcoatl pyramids. 199.197.99.167 (talk) 19:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Inaccuracies protected?
Haven't looked at wikipedia in a long time and this is reminding me why. This is full of error, yet is locked to prevent correction. The "FCA World Headquarters and ..." never changed names, it's now a Stellantis engineering center but remains named, as always, the Chrysler Technology Center - and has been over 5.4 million sqft since the early 00s when the Wind tunnel was added. The Renaissance Center is not one building, it was originally 5 connected by an atrium, and two more were lumped with it across a parking lot. The Tesla Austin Giga Factory is not 8 million sqft. According to state records, numerous articles, and recent Tesla promotions for an upcoming job fair, it is 4.3 million sqft. I have to assume everything else in here is just as messed up. Being so inaccurate, and with edits disallowed, this should be a nomination for deletion.
 * The 4.3 million sqft is the footprint area, as is easily measured on Google Earth. I've added that to the Footprint section; it wasn't there already because it's still under construction. The 8 million sqft is in fact what this source says, and is refering to floor area, the section it was in. The FCA name has been updated. Five of the towers of the Renaissance Center are in fact connected so it will stay. Thanks for whining!
 * umm, that size for the ren cen includes all 7 towers - two of which are detached.
 * The size here is the sum of the five connected tower and podium structure listed at Renaissance_Center. Reywas92Talk 01:27, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

List of largest buildings in the United States nominated for deletion
See Articles for deletion/List of largest buildings in the United States. Any discussion as to whether the entries in that article are WP:OR (they certainly seem to me to be, though I created the AfD discussion on behalf of an IP) will no doubt also be relevant here, since some of the entries in this list seem to be based on the same debatable sourcing.

Largest buildings in the world
You didn`t include the pyramids of Giza for largest building`s in the world by volume. It has a volume of 2,300,000m^3 2600:6C44:F7F:4BC0:7886:AAAD:6851:E761 (talk) 01:50, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
