Brooks City Base, Texas

Until its closing in 2011, Brooks was one of four Air Force Bases around San Antonio, and the home of the Human Systems Center, a laboratory that examined the human component in Air Force systems, using flight simulators, human centrifuges, etc. The Brooks Development Authority assumed ownership of the property in 2002, renaming the facility Brooks City-Base. Currently the site is being developed as a mixed-use science, business, and technology center.
