Notice
The Federal Facilities Council (FFC) (formerly the Federal Construction Council) is a continuing activity of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment of the National Research Council (NRC). The purpose of FFC is to promote continuing cooperation between the sponsoring federal agencies and other agencies and organizations of the building community to advance building science and technology, particularly with regard to the design, construction, acquisition, evaluation, and operation of federal facilities. Currently, the following agencies sponsor FFC:
Department of the Air Force, Office of the Civil Engineer
Department of the Air Force, Air National Guard
Department of Energy, Office of Associate Deputy Secretary of Field Management
Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Department of State, Office of Foreign Buildings Operations
Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Facilities Management
Food and Drug Administration
General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service Indian Health Service
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Facilities Engineering Division
National Institutes of Health
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory
National Endowment for the Arts, Design Arts Program
National Science Foundation
Smithsonian Institution, Office of Facilities Services
U.S. Public Health Service, Office of Management
U.S. Postal Service, Facilities Department
As part of its activities, the FFC periodically publishes reports that have been prepared by committees of government employees. Because these committees are not appointed by NRC, they do not make recommendations, and their reports are considered FFC publications rather than NRC publications.
For further information on the FFC program or FFC reports, please write to: Director, Federal Facilities Council, Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20418 or visit the FFC home page on the Internet at http://www2.nas.edu/ffc.
