The Office of American Spaces develops and supports modern, effective physical platforms for public diplomacy engagement with foreign targeted audiences in support of United States foreign policy objectives. Combining technology with aesthetics, the Spaces provides dynamic physical spaces that have an American look and feel.
According to the American Spaces 2015 annual report, there are certain adjustments that will be made to the Spaces this year. Two of such adjustments are internet upgrades for digital engagement and technology that enables virtual programming.
