Planned New FBI HQ Is Twice the Size of the Pentagon

The GOP House can stop the project and rein in a runaway bureau.

The federal government is proceeding with plans to build a new FBI headquarters complex twice the size of the Pentagon building.

Riveted into the colossal new project are woke regulations to ensure that the FBI center will comply with diversity, equity, LGBTQ+, and climate change political goals.

The plan, unveiled last September, has received little attention. For years the FBI has sought to vacate its present headquarters, a brutalist concrete bunker on stilts and occupying two city blocks between the White House and the Capitol.

Plans for the new FBI headquarters specify that it will be built on one of three sites in suburban Virginia and Maryland. Those sites are large parcels of 58, 61, and 80 acres.

That means, at minimum, the new FBI headquarters complex would be twice the size of the Pentagon building. Covering about 29 acres plus a five-acre courtyard, the Pentagon, until recently, was the largest office building on earth.

New U.S. Gestapho HQ probably needs addtional interogation and torture facilities.

And a 1/4 million square feet for electronic surveillance.

In all that excitement about diversity, equity, LGBTQ+, and climate change, don't forget ramps for disabled people in wheelchairs.

Maj. Bill Martin:
 This is a horribly dishonest article.

The premise that this new FBI building is going to be "twice as large" as the Pentagon is based solely on the fact that the site parcels at which the FBI is looking are larger than the Pentagon.  That's it.

That's a ridiculous assumption.  Obviously, things like security, parking, and having multiple buildings spread out over the site, access/egress roads, etc.. all mean that the total space may be much smaller than the Pentagon.   There's just no way to know how big the actual building(s) would be simply by looking at the size of the overall site.
