Nearly a year after a soft launch of its geospatial innovation center, downtown-based startup incubator T-REX is growing into a local hub for geospatial entrepreneurs, academic researchers and federal employees of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Construction is expected to begin any day now on its third floor to make room for the NGA’s Moonshot Labs. It will be the first time NGA employees embed in an innovation community to collaborate on unclassified projects.
Alan Hrebec, project lead, said the space will house between 50 and 70 NGA employees. He expects it will open in the spring.
Hrebec said the design will look like any other modern tech office, with a mix of glass offices and open seating.
