Client: NIST
Size/Cost: Varies per Project
Axias Role: Cost Estimating
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the Department of Commerce, is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Today the mission of NIST is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.
NIST has two main facilities, Gaithersburg, Maryland and Boulder, Colorado. The Gaithersburg campus houses 62 permanent and temporary buildings totaling 3.6 million gross square feet on 579 acres. The 206-acre Boulder campus, which also accommodates two other federal government agencies, is home to four NIST laboratories: Communications Technology, Information Technology, Material Measurement, and Physical Measurement Laboratory.
Axias has supported many projects at these and other locations with cost estimating services, from early feasibility studies through construction, as summarized below.
