DARPA Headquarters

This 13-story, 353,000 sf Class “A” office building is occupied by the Federal Government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, VA. The building is located within the larger Liberty Center complex, which is a 5.35-acre, mixed-use development with two office buildings, a residential tower with retail, and structured below-grade parking. The development is certified at the Gold level under the LEED-ND (Neighborhood Development) pilot program.

Designed to meet the Department of Defense minimum Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) standards, the building has an 82-foot secured perimeter and is surrounded by a sizeable lawn separating it from the surrounding buildings within the complex. The scope also included testing and inspection services such as earthwork and foundation monitoring and testing, structural concrete inspections, architectural and structural precast concrete inspections, as well as structural steel, masonry and curtain wall/ windows inspections.
