You wanna keep staring at the wall, or do you wanna go to work?
From the last two films of Phase 2 through Phase 3, the Avengers Facility in upstate New York has grown immensely.
Ext. New Avengers Facility – Avengers: Age of Ultron
The first and main structure for the Facility is the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
There were some additional interior shots filmed at the Sainsbury Centre, primarily Thor, Steve and Tony talking, and the assemblage of the Avengers in the closing shot.

Ext. New Avengers Facility – Ant-Man
As first seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron earlier in the year, this is the aerial view of the campus. It’s a digital composite that now included is the Porsche Experience building from Atlanta, in the lower right.
Field, New Avengers Facility – Ant-Man
Scott has a brief tussle with The Falcon as he attempts to break into the facility to pick up a piece of tech for Hank Pym. This was reportedly filmed in an open field near the Pinewood Atlanta Studios (presumably the one on the North side of Sandy Creek Rd.) according to Cinefex #143, and fxguide, with rooftop footage filmed in the parking lot against a green screen.

Ext. New Avengers Facility – Captain America: Civil War
The Porsche HQ, Atlanta served as the exterior design for the Avengers HQ. The ground shot of the HQ was from the 1st Civil War trailer, and the aerial shot adds the Porsche Offices to the Sainsbury School for the Arts versions as seen in previous films.

In its third outing, the upstate New York facility has undergone more renovations and changes. While buildings from Atlanta and Sainsbury have been used to represent the structures at Starks upstate facility (moved around from their configuration in Ant-Man), special effects background plates were shot of a spit of land, on the west side of the river, in Esopus, NY, and used by the FX team to place the buildings into. The background plate image comes from Cinefex #147.

The interiors of the Porsche Experience also served as some of the interiors of the Avengers Headquarters such as Steve and Tony’s Office, the Rehab area, and Stairway.
Additional scenes for Wanda’s bedroom and the balcony with Steve and Natasha was filmed at the SANY Building, which appears much more prominently in Avengers: Endgame below. Thanks to Lawrence Morris for pointing out these additions.

Ext. New Avengers Facility – Avengers: Infinity War
The campus of the Avengers Facility continues to morph and grow. Buildings from the Porsche Experience and the Sainsbury Centre are still incorporated as well as many other generic non-descrip buildings. Avengers: Infinity War also moved the location from the west side of the Hudson River in Esopus to the east side, and a bit north, in Staatsburg, NY, using Mills Mansion and the Staatsburgh State Historic Site grounds.

Ext. New Avengers Facility – Avengers: Endgame
For each appearance the Avengers headquarters continues to morph, adding new buildings to its campus. The exterior location is still in Staatsburg, NY, but now it contains the newest structure, the SANY Building, a company that sells construction equipment, in Peachtree City, GA.
This new exterior of the Avengers Facility was used for all the scenes outside the building including the return of Tony Stark from space, Scott Lang enjoying a taco, and Tony returning the shield to Steve.

The interiors of the Quantum Platform used the showroom for construction equipment at SANY. Thanks to Lawrence Morris for helping to identify this location.
Additionally, according to the Avengers: Endgame commentary, “before the Avengers Compound is destroyed by Thanos at the end of the movie, [Christopher] Markus points out that the sequences in the building were actually shot in an abandoned hotel in Atlanta.” This converted soundstage is located off Sullivan Rd in College Park, GA near the airport.
