GSA helps the NRC find their new home

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

As part of GSA’s mission to help federal agencies serve the public, both services of GSA’s Mid-Atlantic Region collaborated with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission over the past two years on a move to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. 

In March 2021, R3 PBS awarded a new lease for the NRC (photo right). PBS and NRC partnered on a workplace engagement study that analyzed the NRC’s space needs and recommended ways to operate more efficiently. As a result, NRC will reduce their existing footprint of nearly 72,000 SF by 53%, saving $1.85 million in annual rent and avoiding $10.5 million lease cost over the life of the lease. Construction is nearing completion, anticipating occupancy by late summer. 

In May 2022, the FAS Office of Personal Property Management used its full disposal, acquisition and recycling capabilities to help the NRC dispose of personal property they will no longer need in their new space. They transferred used property valued at $219,387 to other federal and state agencies, and helped over a dozen regional organizations acquire excess property from the NRC to furnish their own offices at little or no expense. 

FAS PPM also helped the NRC avoid environmental hazards by using the safest certified and sustainable recycling options for all remaining materials. 
The total effort saved the NRC thousands of dollars in relocation costs and helped them “go green” by keeping surplus materials out of landfills.
The NRC praised both the PBS and FAS project teams for their work. “Beyond the fiscal and environmental successes of this project, GSA helped us develop an office space that is inviting, enables staff collaboration, and supports our new hybrid work environment,” NRC Region I Administrator David Lew said.

PBS is achieving taxpayer savings by avoiding increased lease costs through the timely replacement of expiring leases. As part of this program, the new NRC lease is reducing lease costs through square footage reduction and negotiating more favorable lease rates through its Automated Advanced Acquisition Program tools.
