Avius knows more about it. It was going to be a homeland security thing, but they pulled out. It's gutted, and seems to be watched fairly closely. One research building was locked last time I was there, the rest is wide open. Not much to see, but if you're nearby give it a shot. I think it was going to be a data center.

Edit2: The arc of buildings is gone.

Yeah, more than just the arc of buildings- about half the other buildings are gone as well. The good old Dept. of Homeland security leased it to build a huge data center and totally stripped everything that was left, and then changed their minds and set up in Texas instead, leaving this place a desolate ruin.

It's big, but pretty boring. They had finished gutting it and had only barely started the remodel, so it's mostly just bare concrete and cinder block. A few interesting corners remain, and a lot of unique warning and safety plaques.

Also, for some reason, one small building has been preserved from its days as a biomedical research lab, but it is maintained and locked up tight. Security patrols have stepped up in the last few months since some graff appeared on the side.

In places forgotten, tread where you will. -=- http://www.flickr.com/photos/avius/
