GSA has announced a new lease agreement for the National Labor Relations Board headquarters in Washington, D.C. NLRB will occupy 143,116 square feet of office space at 1015 Half Street SE, Washington starting in December, and the ten-year agreement could save $4.2 million a year, largely through a 92,000 square foot reduction of the amount of space the agency currently occupies.
NLRB is participating in the Total Workplace initiative, which provides GSA assistance to agencies to reduce office space, improve collaboration, better manage IT and furniture spending and increase energy efficiency.
GSA meanwhile has announced a new lease agreement for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Maryland. The building will be renovated to accommodate additional personnel allowing the CDC to reduce its need for other leases and shrink its footprint by more than 70,000 square feet, according to GSA.
It said the smaller overall footprint would help save about $29 million over the 15-year term of the lease. The lease also incorporates sustainability upgrades, resulting in a building that is expected to be Energy Star certified and the tenant space will be certified under the LEED-Commercial Interiors rating system.
