PROJECT SCOPE_
The New Exploration Sciences Building at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) will support the needs of NASA’s Space Sciences and Earth Sciences Directorate for the next 50 years. The new facility will consolidate staff and research currently located in six major buildings scattered throughout the GSFC campus. It will also implement the first major project within the GSFC Master Plan. The new building includes laboratory and office spaces to support cutting edge research and rapid project turnover.
M+W Zander provided the laboratory and cleanroom programming and planning and MEP engineering on this project. The four storey building has 25,000 square metres of chemistry, electronic instrument development laboratories, cleanrooms, high-bay assembly areas, computer rooms, support offices and workstations for 900 research scientists and related employees. The spaces are designed to be flexible, expandable and foster collaboration.
The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is being used to measure the project’s sustainable features. The facility has achieved LEED Silver Certification. LEED credits targeted for the project include innovative wastewater technologies, 30% water use reduction, 30% energy performance optimization, centralized monitoring of all mechanical and process systems and 75% diversion of construction waste. |
