US EditionFBI Director Kash Patel Announces Hoover Building Closure
The FBI will move most headquarters staff to the Reagan Building, saving taxpayers nearly $5 billion by avoiding a new facility opening in 2035, Director Kash Patel said.
- On Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., will be shut down permanently, posting 'December 26: Shutting down the Hoover Building' on X.
- Patel wrote Friday on X, 'December 26: Shutting down the Hoover Building,' noting the move to the Reagan Building aims to avoid nearly $5 billion in costs for a new headquarters, which wouldn't open until 2035.
- Patel announced that 1,500 FBI staffers from Washington, D.C., will be spread into field offices while most HQ functions move after Ronald Reagan Building upgrades.
- Patel said the move puts resources where they belong: defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and protecting national security, while delivering better tools for today's FBI workforce at a fraction of the cost.
- After more than 20 years of attempts, Patel said the closure follows failed efforts to find needed space; the Hoover Building has been the FBI's headquarters since 1975 with prior offices in the Department of Justice building.
