Kenneth Schlindwein, left, of Diversified Facilities (FWO-DF), facility manager for the Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS) Division, accepts the keys to the Nonproliferation and International Security Center from Jay Herzig, project superintendent for Hensel Phelps Construction, the general contractor. The 163,000-square-foot building at Technical Area 3 will house more than 400 NIS personnel. It is adjacent to the Nicholas Metropolis Modeling and Simulation Center and is substantially complete. NIS staff will likely begin moving in to the NISC in March. In the interim, additional security features and final details are being installed. The groundbreaking for NISC was March 1, 2001, and it was completed on Dec. 2. The job was finished approximately seven weeks ahead of schedule and under budget, according to Bill Hamilton of Project Management (PM) Division, NISC project director.
