National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency West Facilities

The new $1.7 billion National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) West Facilities campus, built on a 97-acre site in the St. Louis Place neighborhood at Jefferson and Cass Avenues, is a replacement for NGA's facility located south of downtown in a century’s old building. The new development features a 700,000-square-foot office building, two multi-level parking garages, a secure visitor center, a delivery inspection facility and multiple secured access points. The design-build project was designed and constructed to meet the highest standards for safety, security and sustainability, while also incorporating advanced technology and flexible workspaces.

NGA has had a significant presence in St. Louis for seven decades and currently employs more than 3,000 local employees. The campus anchors a growing geospatial ecosystem in north St. Louis, positioning NGA to deepen its partnerships with civic institutions, academia and industry.

The new campus is expected to deliver significant benefits, including environmental, cost, and policy advantages; expanded partnerships with universities and technology-driven companies; enhanced recruiting capabilities; and close proximity to NGA’s data facilities and both its current and future workforce.

The completion marks one of the largest federal investment projects in the St. Louis region, reinforcing both NGA’s long-standing presence in the community and the area’s growing role as a national hub for geospatial excellence.
