DARPA joins U-Md. science park

The Washington Post: Ground is expected to be broken this summer on a 120,000-square-foot facility designed to provide the highest level of security for government intelligence work at the university of Maryland's M square research park.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) which will be housed in the building, is the new corollary of the military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). IARPA is expected to perform similar work that DARPA provides to the military forces for the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.
