USPTO's
New Alexandria Headquarters
The USPTO's Office of Space Acquisition is coordinating the consolidation
of the agency's operations from its present configuration in 18 separate
buildings in Arlington into a consolidated headquarters in Alexandria,
Virginia. The five linked buildings that make up USPTO's new facility
contain approximately two million square feet of office and related space
and are about three miles from USPTO's current site in Crystal City. Occupancy
of the new headquarters is expected to begin in late 2003 and to be
completed by early 2005.
The consolidation is a critical step to achieving and maintaining an agency
that is quality focused, highly productive, and responsive to the needs
of its customers. This 21st Century facility complements the agency's mission
in a multitude of ways. USPTO's new headquarters is designed to facilitate
optimum performance from the state-of-the-art technology the agency will
use for full electronic processing of patent and trademark applications.
Modern buildings and equipment and employee-friendly services, including
a child care center, multipurpose meeting facilities, and fitness center,
give USPTO the opportunity to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.
In addition to space dedicated to the agency's core functions, USPTO's new Alexandria
complex will have a host of public amenities, including the popular patent and
trademark museum, a full-service cafeteria and Dulany Gardens, a landscaped
two-acre park located at the center of the facility, featuring benches, brick
walkways, and a water fountain.
