PROJECT INFORMATION

This section provides an overview of the project and it’s contract.

1.1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Project will be located on the former site of the St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, a National

Historic Landmark, and former mental health hospital that was previously operated by the

District of Columbia Health and Human Services. The St. Elizabeth’s Campus is located on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue in the Anacostia neighborhood of Southeast

Washington, D.C. The West Campus and a portion of the East Campus have been selected to meet the operational housing needs for the DHS. The West Campus, a 176-acre site, is situated on the “topographic bowl” of the District of Columbia and offers panoramic views of the city. The campus contains 62 historic buildings, 134 character defining landscape features and a historic cemetery, in which soldiers from the Civil War era, as well as former patients, are interred. The project is part of the DHS headquarters operations consolidation into a secure, 4.5 million gross square feet (GSF) campus at the

St. Elizabeth’s Campus in the Southeast quadrant of Washington, DC. The resultant campus will be the central core for leadership, operations coordination, policy, and program management functions in support of DHS’s strategic goals.

The original consolidation effort included the collocation of operation centers, decision support, and collaborative/support areas into a single facility at this location, currently referred to as the DHS Operation Center (DOC) building). The Design A/E team of Goody

Clancy I HDR, LLC was retained by GSA in July 2009 to perform the initial programming and to develop the facility design. Phase 1, 2A and 2B buildouts included spaces for Campus

Security Operations, US Coast Guard Headquarters Command Center, Intel and Cyber

Command watches, an Information Technology Operations Center, Campus Network

Operation Center, USSS Decision Support Cell, ICE Joint Information Operations Center, DHS OCIO Enterprise Security Operations Center and the DHS National Operations Center.
