GSA FDA Headquarters Consolidation (Southeast Quad)
WHITE OAK, MD, USA
Our team gave a careful attention to creative security solutions necessary for a federal facility that fosters a sense of openness without compromising on safety.
The Biodefense Laboratory Complex completes the fourth and largest quadrant of the Food and Drug Administration at the 130-acre White Oak, Maryland Campus. Designed in accordance with the approved 2009 Master Plan, this campus is a collaborative environment for FDA researchers built on the site of the former Naval Ordnance Laboratory. The complex houses state-of-the-art laboratories and offices. The grand Central Atrium creates a multi-function community space for researchers and encourages interaction and collaboration. The project scope also includes a significant expansion of the campus co-generation plant and utility infrastructure.
GSA Region 3
PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA
Our team delivered a high-performance workplace while exceeding Federal guidelines.
The project commenced with a macro programming effort to establish criteria in forming a workplace strategy that explored scenarios to leverage a mobility solution. Following a pilot program, GSA chose to adopt a 100% unassigned and 100% mobility program. The new space typologies resulted in a 37% space reduction and 49% rent reduction. Additional project gains include sustainability strategies that will result in a 30% reduction in water consumption and 41% reduction in power usage. Our team’s recommendation of a robust change management effort provides employees with resources to successfully transition to a mobile environment, enabling them to accomplish their work from anywhere within the Regional Office.
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
FORT BELVOIR, VA, USA
Our team successfully consolidated 5 sites under one roof in 48 months.
Jacobs, as a partner in a joint venture, designed new headquarters located on the Fort Belvoir consolidating NGA’s major East Coast Operations. New Campus East was created to enhance mission performance, facilitate both physical and virtual collaboration, and promote greater information sharing within the agency and across the US Intelligence Community and Department of Defense.
Achieving the LEED Gold accreditation, the overall design concept was closely coordinated and integrated to identify and support the agency’s culture and mission. NGA’s capability of producing aeronautical and topographic maps, charts, and data of the world led to the design team using the concept of Celestial to Terrestrial elements to provide the framework for organizing the facility.
