Agency/Office: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Location: 100 Bureau Dr, Gaithersburg, MD Title: Building 101 2nd Floor Open Office Renovation Background: Building 101 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the main administration building for the NIST Gaithersburg Campus. Building 101 consists of an 11-story administrative office tower and a sprawling first-floor and basement level. The first floor of Building 101 houses the central campus conference facilities, the NIST research library, and the main campus cafeteria. The basement level houses the NIST fitness center, badging and security offices, telecommunications suites, and the campus health unit, among other occupancies. The office tower, floors 2 through 11, house a variety of administrative support and managerial office functions. Although the original design intent and functions of the lower levels and office tower floors remain largely intact, changing trends, new technologies, and the age of the facility, in general, have been eroding their role as a center where NIST researchers can meet with one another and members of the public to collaborate and innovate. The NIST Administrative Space Strategic Plan, finalized in 2014, provides a planning strategy and conceptual plans for the reorganization of administrative and public space within the principal administrative facilities on the campus. One of the goals of this Strategic Plan is to bring space utilization rates within the Department of Commerce (DoC) standard of 170 net assignable square feet (NASF) per person while allowing flexibility for the administrative program units to expand, shrink, merge, or reorganize as needed. This DoC standard applies only to administrative spaces such as offices, private conference rooms, copy centers, dedicated mail and storage spaces, training rooms, and break areas. Specialty support space, IT and utility spaces, laboratories, shops, warehouse space, and other similar areas are not counted as areas in the utilization calculation.
