The Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate has relocated its headquarters to the department’s St. Elizabeths Campus in Southeast Washington, D.C. as part of a broader effort to consolidate DHS leadership and agencies at the new location.
DHS S&T said Friday its new headquarters features a collaborative workspace with modern technologies, enabling the agency to boost internal coordination and teamwork.
“Bringing this directorate under the same facilities as the rest of headquarters will enhance collaboration,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of DHS and a previous Wash100 awardee.
Dimitri Kusnezov, DHS undersecretary for science and technology, said the new location will enable the DHS research and development arm to deliver technological support and expertise to agency partners and prepare the department for emerging technologies and future threats.
