WASHINGTON — Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the selection of the Ronald Reagan Building complex in Washington, D.C. as the new location for FBI headquarters.
The announcement follows nearly two decades of attempts to find the needed space to meet the FBI’s mission and workforce requirements. Previous efforts focused on constructing a new suburban campus, which would have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and taken years to construct. In support of the Administration’s goal to optimize the federal real estate portfolio, the GSA and FBI identified an existing federal property. The Ronald Reagan Building complex provides a world-class facility that supports the FBI’s critical mission and saves money for taxpayers.
“FBI’s existing headquarters at the Hoover building is a perfect example of a government building that has accumulated years of deferred maintenance, suffering from an aging water system to concrete falling off the structure,” said GSA Acting Administrator Stephen Ehikian. “I am proud of GSA’s commitment to working with Director Patel and his FBI team to find a building that best supports their mission and their people.”
“This is a historic moment for the FBI. Through our strong partnerships with members of Congress and GSA, we are ushering FBI Headquarters into a new era and providing our agents of justice a safer place to work. Moving to the Ronald Reagan Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way to carry out our mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution,” said FBI Director Kash Patel.
