When exiting the airport, follow the signs to State Road (SR) 528 (Beachline Expressway) east to the Kennedy Space Center. After approximately 25 miles, there will be a fork in the road. Bear to the left onto SR 407. Stay on SR 407 for about 5 miles until it dead-ends into SR 405\/NASA Causeway. Turn right (east) on SR 405 and go about eight (8) miles \u2013 just beyond the KSC Visitor Complex \u2013 where you will see a one-story building on the right called \u201cKSC Badging Office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Cocoa Beach Area<\/strong>: Take A1A north towards Cape Canaveral. After A1A turns into SR 528 (Beachline Expressway). You will <strong><em>pass<\/em><\/strong> the Gate 1 entrance to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (where the cruise ships are). <strong><em>Do not take this exit<\/em><\/strong> but continue on SR 528 going west passing over the Banana River and Sykes Creek bridges until you get to the SR 3\/Merritt Island exit. Take a right onto SR 3 and after approximately 7 miles you will see a sign that says \u201call visitors turn left at next light.\u201d Turn left onto Space Commerce Way following the signs to the Visitor Complex.

The newly constructed facility anchors the multi-user spaceport\u2019s Central Campus. More than 500 civil service and contractor employees will be based in the 200,000-square-foot building. The facility earned the U.S. Green Building Council\u2019s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold designation.
