"We are proud of the new building – not only for the exciting work on space missions that will take place within its walls, but also because it uses the latest green technology to help us protect the environment we live in on planet Earth," said JPL Director Dr. Charles Elachi.

The six-story center will house missions in the busy design and development phases, when engineers and scientists from around the world must work together closely. The 190,000-square-foot building includes a 400-seat auditorium, basement, conference rooms and private, yet flexible workstations. The building is designed to exceed California's stringent Title 24 requirements by 25 percent.

"The Flight Projects Center honors the leadership NASA exhibits in space with a thoughtful and sustainable building that practices efficiency and treads lightly on the earth," says Keith Hempel, LPA architect. "It's our first project for the federal government, and we're honored to be part of the JPL legacy."
