Project scope
The fiscal year 2014 Operations Center will provide Defense Logistics Agency Aviation with up-to-date operational and administrative space to support its mission. Currently, most mission functions are located in renovated 1942-era warehouse space. These warehouses are not energy-efficient and would require another major renovation to bring them into compliance with today’s energy standards. 

The operations center project features two stand-alone phases, which are designed to operate together. Each phase will be approved separately, with the chance follow-on projects may have a delay in approval. The projects are set up for construction in fiscal years 2014, 2017 and 2019, with design work starting in FY2012, 2015 and 2017.

• Employee-support areas (dining, cafeteria, retail space, kitchenette/break, latrine, shower and locker rooms)
