NREL currently occupies warehouse space in a building under lease in Arvada, Colorado, and the lease is anticipated to expire 12/31/2018. NREL is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. In making the determination, NREL will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy NREL's requirements as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive downtime.
