This project consolidated select business and technical services performed across the Agency into a single Shared Services Center. The facility houses NASA's human resources, financial management, procurement and information technology services. Project phasing and timely construction completion was critical to the success of this project due to NASA staff being relocated from across the country.
The State of Mississippi Bureau of Building, Grounds and Real Property Management Design, as the Owner and funding agency for this project, established their goals and project requirements to incorporate sustainable design elements into the facility. USGBC LEED NC 2.2 was utilized as the assessment metric to measure reduction of impact to the environment, improvement of energy efficiency and water conservation, and design solutions that provide safe, healthy and productive built environments. The facility achieved LEED "Silver" Certification.
