The buildings are located on the central portion of the site and were built in 1995. The remainder of the site is green space, portions of which are designated as wetlands and a wildlife refuge. Outdoor dining, walking trails, and benches are available to the buildings’ occupants. Overall, the buildings and grounds are considered to be in good condition.

B. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has an on-going Back on Campus initiative in support of the Department of Health and Human Services Reduce the Footprint mandate. Phase 04 of this consolidation program includes Central Building Restrooms and

Janitor’s Closets, Central Building Level 1 Existing Office Space, South Building Restrooms and

Janitor’s Closets and Auditorium Restrooms & Janitor’s Closets.
