The Census CIO sponsored the project to turn an existing 6500 square foot data center at the Suitland Census Headquarters into a multi-functional flex space that would provide a collaborative design environment for the technical teams working with the demographic researchers to allow for the introduction of new technologies to process and display the data collected. The space would also function as a presentation center to other agencies and corporations that were interested in how the Census was taking on the massive challenge of displaying demographic data spatially and through data bases.
