Design, Construction, Demolition Branch

NASA’s sustainability policy is to execute the mission without compromising our planet’s resources so that future generations can meet their needs. Sustainability provides a unique opportunity to continuously improve the resilience of NASA’s space and ground asset operations and performance. The NASA will continue to integrate sustainability principles into existing policies and procedures. NASA requires sustainable principles to be incorporated into all new construction, renovations and leases.

Maintenance and Operations Branch

Provide maintenance and repair of facilities and collateral equipment that protects the health and safety of personnel, protects the environment, protects and preserves NASA’s capabilities and capital investment, and enables mission performance by following good business practices while minimizing life-cycle facilities costs.

Strategic Planning Branch

NASA master plans link the stewardship of NASA’s land, buildings, and other structures with Agency strategic plans and guidance. Networking Center- and site-specific master planners together and with related institutional stewards, relevant experts, and mission customers, a distributed master planning community of practice helps ensure that implementation actions offer reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally sound benefit to NASA’s mission.

Real Estate Branch

NASA has a few Occupancy Agreements with the General Services Administration and a few direct leases authorized under its legislation. NASA increasingly has undertaken agreements with other government agencies, commercial firms, and non-profit organizations to use its facilities when such use complements the NASA mission. Real property also manages facility utilization, consolidation, transfers to other agencies, and excess property through HUD and GSA.
