December 26: Shutting down the Hoover Building.
After more than 20 years of failed attempts, we finalized a plan to permanently close the FBI’s Hoover headquarters and move the workforce into a safe, modern facility. Working directly with President Trump and Congress, we accomplished what no one else could.
When we arrived, taxpayers were about to be on the hook for nearly $5 billion for a new headquarters that wouldn’t open until 2035. We scrapped that plan. Instead, we selected the already-existing Reagan Building, saving billions and allowing the transition to begin immediately with required safety and infrastructure upgrades already underway. Once complete, most of the HQ FBI workforce will move in, and the rest are continuing in our ongoing push to put more manpower in the field, where they will remain.
This decision puts resources where they belong: defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and protecting national security. It delivers better tools for today’s FBI workforce at a fraction of the cost.
The Hoover Building will be shut down permanently.

Where’s the FBI museum? I remember visiting it long ago when I was a kid.
They should renovate the J. Edgar Hoover facility into the Museum for the Deep State.
Was just gonna say that same sentiment, Wray, Comey, Mueller and a cast of a thousand to start off. And give tours so the public can watch these creeps in their pens!
“existing Reagan Building”
I wonder what it was being used for?
I wonder how many agents are still in secret contact with Peter Strzk and the blow-up doll girlfriend. I don’t recall her useless name.
Until early this year it housed USAID, until they pried the letters off the building.
Various agencies, trade related event venue, big food court opened to the public. It’s a glorious modern building showing modern architecture canned beautiful.
The Hoover Bldg, on the other hand, is perhaps the worst example of brutalist architecture in the capital. It needs to be dynamited.
I don't think there is an FBI Museum. The FBI has traditionally held tours at its headquarters in the Hoover Building. And there is the International Spy Museum in DC. I seem to recall it started out in a smaller building somewhere near 6th St NW around 2002, but now it's in L'Enfant Plaza, a yuge complex of buildings in SW.
