NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER
INTEGRATED ENGINEERING SERVICES BUILDING HAMPTON, VA | INSTITUTIONAL ARCHITECTURE
The Integrated Engineering Services Building is a high pro le, ac ve facility at the heart of the exis ng NASA Langley Research Center. This LEED-NC Gold-Cer ed building represents Phase II of a master planning e ort aimed at consolida ng and modernizing exis ng aging facili es in the sprawling NASA LaRC campus into a smaller, state-of-the-art, core campus environment. Designed to consolidate previously disconnected departments and services into one building to bring crea ve groups of people together for ‘informa on exchange’ and for the delivery of employee services, the IESB enlivens the center of campus, and serves as a catalyst for new ideas and collabora on. The program includes conference, mee ng, and computer training spaces; an engineering collabora on suite; an auditorium, 230-seat theater, and audio-visual produc on suites; the LaRC TV Produc on Studio; and the new cafeteria with a terrace for outdoor dining. It combines the Research Directorate, Engineering Directorate, and the Systems Analysis and Concepts Directorate o ces on one oor. The historic NASA Langley Campus is characterized by low one-, two-, and three-story red brick clad buildings, white metal high-tech industrial wind tunnels and research structures, mature trees and plan ngs, and nearby wetlands. Located at the center of campus, the two-story IESB respects, and is shaped by, the landscape and site condi ons, as well as the campus culture and func onal needs of the program. The exterior composi on incorporates glass, metal, and terraco a curtainwall, providing a pale e of materials and colors to achieve a harmony and balance with the new Headquarters Building, the exis ng core campus fabric, and the historic context.
