Overview

  • HUD Secretary Scott Turner announced on June 25 that the agency will leave its 1968-era headquarters at L’Enfant Plaza for the National Science Foundation’s offices in Alexandria.
  • Turner cited pervasive leaks, mold and structural failures at the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building as the primary reasons for the transfer.
  • The relocation is projected to unlock several hundred million dollars in taxpayer savings by cutting deferred maintenance and operating costs.
  • Plans call for retrofitting the NSF facility’s top floors into an executive suite for the HUD secretary, complete with a private dining room, reserved parking and dedicated elevator access.
  • More than 1,800 NSF employees have been displaced by the move without a formal plan or secured funding for their new workspace.
