FBI Crime Center Photo 1

Building From Scratch
Photograph by Nina Berman

On 986 acres (399 hectares) of undeveloped land in West Virginia, the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) was built from the ground up—from the sprawling office complex, to the 2,000 parking spots, to the road that connects the facility to the outside world. Although the center cannot be seen from the highway, its economic impact is certainly felt in the surrounding community. West Virginia University in nearby Morgantown has partnered with the FBI to offer the world's first degree program in forensic identification.
