A large crane towers overhead as the new, seven-story headquarters building takes shape in the industrial area at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 200,000-square-foot facility will anchor the spaceport’s Central Campus and house about 500 NASA civil service and contractor employees. The building will be more energy efficient than the current Headquarters building and will feature the latest in office and administrative building technology to fulfill Kennedy's role as the premiere multi-user spaceport for NASA and, increasingly, commercial entities.

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.
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is a premier, multi-user spaceport with ongoing construction adding new, ultra-modern facilities. A key element of the Central Campus makeover is a new, seven-story, 200,000-square-foot headquarters building that has taken shape in the heart of the spaceport. The headquarters building's glass facade, as seen from NASA Causeway, is complete. The exterior skin of the building also is nearly finished. The remainder of the glass components are being installed on each floor. Construction of interior walls and utilities on most floors is well underway. Construction of the headquarters building is targeted for completion in November 2017 and employees are expected to be able to move in soon after.

Shown is remnants of the former headquarters building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 11, 2022. Built in 1965, the 439,000-square-foot structure was demolished and replaced at the Florida spaceport by the 200,000-square-foot, seven-story Central Campus Headquarters (CCHQ) Building. The CCHQ is a modernized, energy efficient facility representative of Kennedy’s transformation to America’s premier multi-user spaceport. The area previously occupied by the old headquarters building will be utilized as greenspace.

The Central Campus construction site is seen during an aerial survey of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 12, 2017. The survey was performed to identify structures and facilities that may have sustained damage from Hurricane Irma as the storm passed Kennedy on September 10, 2017. NASA closed the center ahead of the storm’s onset and only a small team of specialists known as the Rideout Team was on the center as the storm approached and passed.

The Central Campus construction site and Headquarters building are seen during an aerial survey of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 12, 2017. The survey was performed to identify structures and facilities that may have sustained damage from Hurricane Irma as the storm passed Kennedy on September 10, 2017. NASA closed the center ahead of the storm's onset and only a small team of specialists known as the Rideout Team was on the center as the storm approached and passed.
