DISA gets a new home

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract to Hensel-Phelps Construction Co., of Chantilly, Va., to construct the Defense Information Systems Agency headquarters at Fort Meade, Md.

The headquarters complex, to be constructed on a 95-acre site on the grounds of the 91-year-old Army installation, will consolidate the operations of approximately 4,000 DISA employees who presently work in a number of locations in Northern Va. and elsewhere in the U.S. and other tenants.

The single design-build contract, worth $369,605,000 will allow Hensel-Phelps to begin construction of the approximately 1,070,000-square-foot, multi-story campus facility. The construction is anticipated to take three years to complete.

DISA is "the provider of global net-centric solutions for the Nation's warfighters and all those who support them."
