The FBI Innovation Center, the flagship building of the FBI’s new Science and Technology District at Redstone Arsenal, has broken ground in Huntsville, Ala.

The 250,000-sf building will be a first-of-its-kind facility dedicated to cyber threat intelligence, data analytics, and training to combat emerging threats. The three-story building will include collaborative office space, formal and informal auditoriums, “collision spaces” for impromptu learning encounters, and specialized training spaces including a kinetic cyber range and virtual reality classroom for agents to test and apply their skills and tools in real-world settings.

The FBI Innovation Center is slated to complete in 2023.
