Sustainable Design -->
NOAA Satellite Operations Center (Suitland, MD)
The NOAA Satellite Operations Center will house current and future environmental satellite operations of national and global significance. GSA is building a new facility that not only enhances NOAA's mission but also expresses the function of the building. The desire to create a low-impact building in keeping with the scale of surrounding structures led to a green roof design that merges with the landscape.
