This is the master thread for the new NGA Complex. Post renderings, news stories, progress photos and more in this thread that relates to the NGA.

The project will involve the moving of the NGA from their current facility on SOuth Broadway near Anheuser-Busch. That facility is ageing which kicked off the search for a new one. The Northside location was chosen and is bounded by Cass, 22nd, Montgomery and Jefferson-Parnell. The NGA hopes that their new HQ will spur more development. The new NGA will also have declassified spaces where business leaders and students can learn more about the technology in labs and classrooms.

Lobby
I have a question about all the green space surrounding the buildings. Is it necessary for security or is it simply aesthetic?
It’s a mixture of the two.
