Full Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Gaithersburg, Maryland campus is a Research and Development (R&D) facility with 52 buildings located on a 578-acre campus.
Most R&D buildings are technically sophisticated laboratory facilities with specialized environmental and utility systems required for research and experimental activities. Laboratory facilities typically utilize specialized controls such as uninterrupted power, compressed gas systems, clean-room technologies, and tight-tolerance air temperature control systems for the conduct of research and experimental studies.
Utilities are distributed to the individual buildings by underground pipe and electrical distribution systems from central plant services owned and operated by NIST.
Existing buildings range in age with the oldest buildings over 60 years old. The construction on campus is generally steel superstructure with block and brick wall construction. Several facilities have specialized layouts with below grade concrete sub-basements and/or combination window/panelized storefront façade. Facility interior and exterior rehabilitation and renovations are continuous as buildings and systems age, or scientific projects require new layouts to accommodate on-going research.
