The ICBM Campus was initially a United States Army missile base meant to protect the U.S. from Soviet bombers carrying nuclear weapons during the Cold War Era. The complex was decommissioned in the late 1950s and purchased by Northeastern University as an academic campus. The Burlington location was mostly used for classrooms and administration offices for students taking master’s classes and certificate programs. As those courses eventually moved to an online format, the campus evolved into one with a stronger focus on research.

By 2009, in the years following 9/11, Northeastern University invested in the research facilities of the Burlington Campus with the largest capital gift in the university’s history. With the help of a generous alumnus, George Kostas, a custom-designed building home to the Kostas Research Institute was born at ICBM. The campus is now an ecosystem of academic, industry partners, government entities and early-stage companies that work collaboratively to conduct use-inspired research with the mission to find solutions for health, security and sustainability challenges facing our world.
