Six secure buildings on one campus: offices, a mission operations floor, labs and a central utility plant, built under accreditation rules with cleared crews and a fixed occupancy date.
The agency needed offices, a mission operations floor, laboratories and a central utility plant on one site. Secure spaces had to be built and documented to accreditation standards, with cleared workers and controlled materials. The mission move date was set years ahead, and the campus had to be accredited, commissioned and occupied without disrupting operations elsewhere.
The approach.
- 01
Security built into the schedule
Cleared crews, escort plans, material controls and inspection points were planned as schedule activities, not handled as exceptions.
- 02
Central plant first
The utility plant was finished and running before the main buildings, so commissioning could start floor by floor.
- 03
Earned value reported monthly
Progress was measured against the baseline with earned value, giving the agency an early read on any slip by building and trade.
- 04
Accreditation as a milestone
Documentation for secure spaces was collected as work happened, so accreditation reviews never waited for paperwork.
The outcome.
“On a secure campus the paperwork is part of the build. We collected it as we went, so accreditation was a review, not a rescue.”
