NASA AWARDS ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACT FOR NEW COMPLEX AT KENNEDY

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA has selected Hunton Brady Architects,
P.A. of Orlando, Fla., to provide design, engineering, and other
professional services required to develop a Central Campus Complex at
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Central Campus Complex
involves consolidating multiple facilities through new construction,
the progressive deconstruction of targeted facilities and the
potential renovation of existing facilities.

The new indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract begins Sept.
27, with a five-year base ordering period and potentially five,
one-year options. The maximum potential value of this contract is $25
million.

Hunton Brady Architects will provide project professional services,
including conducting field investigations, topographical surveys,
analysis of existing and planned work and support systems, preparing
design packages, engineering studies and/or reports of recommended
actions. The firm will develop complete design packages and provide
studies, surveys, reports, environmental permit applications and
environmental certificates of compliance.

Hunton Brady Architects also will perform other professional
architectural and engineering services which include project
management, construction management and inspection services,
preparation of historical documentation, review of shop drawings and
resolution of construction issues. The contract will create as-built
drawings to support all phases of the work throughout design and
construction.

The Central Campus Complex project will be designed to earn the U.S.
Green Building Council's Leadership in Environmental and Energy
Design (LEED) Silver status and strive for the highest achievable
rating based on life cycle costs.
