DHS began planning the consolidation of its headquarters in 2005. The General Services Administration (GSA), the federal government's landlord, noted in planning documents that its property at the West Campus of St. Elizabeths was the preferred site for the project because it could accommodate the office space and parking DHS would need, and was available immediately. From 2006 through 2009, DHS and GSA developed a number of capital planning documents to guide the DHS headquarters consolidation process, including GSA's 2009 Master Plan to guide the overall development of the site. Construction started at the campus in 2009. 1Pub. L.
