The GSA Central Office Building, also referred to as 1800 F Street, occupies an entire city block in northwest Washington, DC. Built in 1917 as the home of the Department of Interior, the building became GSA’s headquarters in 1949. 1800 F Street contains 7 floors above grade with two below-grade floors and is approximately 710,000 square feet. Originally designed for cartographers and other specialties of the Department of Interior, the building features approximately 3,500 windows covering over 50% of the façade to ensure that all office space is well lit. In 2013, GSA completed a major renovation of approximately half of the building while also adding a new southern corridor. In addition, GSA initiated a new hoteling strategy for 1800 F Street building occupants that require employees to reserve their workstations on an ongoing basis. The majority of building occupants do not have permanent workstations and must reserve their workstations for each day they work in the building, which can mean building occupants will sit in multiple building locations throughout the week.
