Central Campus (HQ) Building Sign

The refurbished sign from the original Headquarters building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida is installed by the main entrance of the new Central Campus Headquarters, Feb. 18, 2021. The sign, which reads “National Aeronautics and Space Administration – Kennedy Space Center Headquarters,” was placed on the center’s first Headquarters building when the facility was completed in 1965. Kennedy’s modern Central Campus Headquarters, a seven-story building with several sustainable features, opened in May 2019 and provides space for 500 NASA and contractor employees.

KSC Headquarters Demolition

Sandhill cranes dig in the ground in front of the Central Campus Headquarters (CCHQ) Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 11, 2022. The CCHQ is a modernized, energy efficient facility representative of Kennedy’s transformation to America’s premier multi-user spaceport. It opened in May 2019. Built in 1965, the former headquarters building was recently demolished. The area previously occupied by the 439,000 square-foot-facility will be utilized as greenspace.

Senior leaders with Kennedy Space Center in Florida, familiarize newly appointed officials from NASA Headquarters with the center’s facilities during a tour on April 19, 2021. The group views Sierra Nevada’s Large Inflatable Fabric Environment (LIFE) habitat inside the Space Station Processing Facility high bay. The habitat is an expandable habitat. Expandable habitats have the benefit of greatly decreasing the amount of volume it takes to launch the habitat, which can then inflate once it is in space.

The group is on the surface of Launch Complex 39B, where the launch of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will lift off on Artemis missions. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of SLS and Orion and will pave the way for landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface. It will be a proving ground for deep space exploration, leading the agency’s efforts under the Artemis program for a sustainable presence on the Moon and preparing for human missions to Mars.
