NSF – Naval Research Laboratory

Draft Master Plan Update

Southeast, Washington, D.C._______________

Project Information

Project summary:The Navy has submitted its draft 2014 Master Plan Update for their Naval Surface Facility – Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) installation located in Southeast, Washington, D.C. The installation houses multiple tenants on 132 acres of land, between 85 buildings (totaling over 3 million square feet), situated between Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (north), Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility (south), Overlook Drive and I-295 (east), and the Potomac River (west). The mission of the facility is to serve as the Navy’s “full-spectrum” multi-disciplinary program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward: maritime materials, techniques, equipment, systems; and ocean, atmospheric, space sciences, and related technologies.

The purpose of the Master Plan is to guide future development in support of the installation’s research mission, updating the existing 1990 Master Plan with three funded projects during the next 5 years, to accommodate a maximum 615 employee increase (to 5,487 employees). The Plan will add 109,000 square feet of new construction; demolish a maximum total of 132,000 square feet; renovate 133,000 square feet of space; and reduce employee parking by 160 spaces (to 2,585 spaces). The Master Plan is supported by a draft Transportation Management Plan (TMP), which shows how the installation will minimize its traffic impact, conserve energy, and improve air quality through single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trip reductions and/or shortening SOV trips during the workday commute, with a long-term 1:4 parking ratio goal.
