The Design Solution
TMP developed a 40-acre master plan for NASA Building 4600.
The design provided an easily accessible development using environmentally friendly practices. The building was centrally oriented to preserve vistas and maximize daylight exposure. Retention ponds were incorporated for stormwater runoff with high-efficiency irrigation systems, and intentional pedestrian connections to nearby buildings were planned.
The Design Impact
Employees now have a more central, collaborative workspace on the Marshall Space Flight Center campus.
