Berkeley Space Center at NASA Research Park

Moffett Partners, LLC, a joint venture between The Regents of the University of California and SKSP NRP, LLC, is proposing the development of the Berkeley Space Center at the NASA Ames Research Center in Santa Clara County, California. The project involves the redevelopment of approximately 45 acres of federal land to create a state-of-the-art research and education hub. Planned facilities include academic and research offices, laboratories, a conference center, ground-floor retail, food and beverage services, maker spaces, student and faculty housing, and short-term lodging. The development also incorporates transportation networks and landscaped open spaces designed to advance the educational and scientific research purposes of the UC Regents under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The project is governed by a joint Final Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement, with the University of California serving as the CEQA lead agency and NASA as the NEPA lead agency. Comprehensive technical evaluations have been conducted covering geotechnical conditions, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, vibration, and biological resources, including the delineation of aquatic resources and consultation with Native American tribes. To manage environmental risks, an Environmental Issues Management Plan is in place to address hazardous materials and soil gas. Additionally, the project includes a detailed Transportation Demand Management Plan to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and requires strict adherence to temporary traffic control procedures, including the submission of plans to the NASA Contracting Officer Representative 72 hours prior to any traffic-disrupting work.
