For the first new building to be constructed at the National Aeronatics & Space Administration's 350-acre Langley campus in nearly 50 years, the agency aimed for the highest green standard for its modern new research facility.
The $26-million, three-story headquarters, built via design-build, accommodates up to 260 employees and provides high-tech conference facilities. The 79,000-sq-ft project was awarded a LEED-NC version 2.2 Platinum rating by the U.S. Green Building Council in June.
