The Binghamton Special Research Facility is a government run facility located in or near Binghamton, New York where Alphas who are a threat to society are held. The compound, run by the Department of Defense, acts as a research facility and prison for Alphas.
Binghamton, in southern New York state, is an ideal location for the facility. Nearby high-tech centers (including Lockheed Martin) keep their work protected against corporate espionage, using many of the same security features as the DoD. Meanwhile, the rural surroundings allowed them to keep the inmates isolated and out of the public eye.
Notable Alphas
- Marcus Ayers – The first Alpha discovered by Dr. Lee Rosen
- Matthew Hurley
- John Haddock – Government employee
- Eric Latreaux – Former inmate released as a consultant to the team.
- Gary Bell - incarcerated in Building 7

Facility Personnel
- Dr. Vijal Singh – Lead medical officer and former head of the facility.
- Nathan Clay - Presumably the director of security.
Trivia
- Marcus Ayers was the first person to have escaped custody of the facility. Dr. Rosen's team has since replicated the feat.
- The nature of the facility (including permanent incarceration and experimentation) and comments from several characters implies that something more sinister might be happening at Binghamton.
- Amongst the inmates and residents of the compound, the most notorious part is "Building 7", where the "worst of the worst" are held indefinitely.
