GSA’s National Capital Region’s Property Development Division consolidated the needs of multiple agencies to establish a unified exterior signage system. The context of the environment and the need for exterior security were instrumental in the development of an aesthetically pleasing design for the Federal Triangle buildings, while creating inviting pedestrian connections among the Triangle, downtown Washington, and the Mall.
GSA’s Great Lakes Region Federal Protective Service incorporated the enhanced security standards established in the Department of Justice’s Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities at 954 locations. Only 4 percent of the region’s construction money and 7 percent of their operating money was used to implement these enhancements. This was accomplished using team approach and by partnering with an extremely diverse customer base.
The joint Federal Protective Service’s Property Management Division team in GSA’s Heartland Region consolidated 54 separate guard service contracts in 80 locations into a single Region-wide contract.
