Built in 1943, the Bannister Federal Complex is currently slated for demolition in 2016 to make way for redevelopment.

The article includes an overview of the agencies involved, their functions, staffing levels, and new locations. Affected federal agencies include: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), National Archives, U.S. Department of Agriculture, General Services Administration (GSA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
