Construct a New Consolidated Science Facility within Everglades National Park
Everglades National Park » Construct a New Consolidated Science Facility within Everglades National Park » Document List
Designed to meet the needs of the modern NPS office, the new consolidated science facility would ensure a secure environment for employees, cooperators, and partners while significantly reducing the risks of theft, vandalism, and damage to government property. The facility would provide a space tailored to the needs of a highly specialized technical workforce, accounting for the evolving demands of the modern workplace. It would offer long-term cost savings, be resilient against hurricanes and fire threats and maintain operations using generator power during frequent and unpredictable commercial outages.
As part of this civic engagement process, we are inviting public input on issues and opportunities related to the proposed project through March 20. Information about the proposal is provided in an ArcGIS StoryMap, which is available at parkplanning.nps.gov/EVER-science-facility.

Once we have reviewed public comments, we will begin the next phase, which will include assessing compliance needs under the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Endangered Species Act, and other resource protection laws and regulations.
We encourage you to stay connected and be an active participant in this planning process.
Thank you for your interest and participation.
