MOFFETT FIELD, CA-NASA’s Ames Research Center and Carnegie Mellon University have reached an agreement on a long-term lease under which the university will renovate 19,000-sf of space for its growing West Coast campus on Shenandoah Plaza at Moffett Field.The plaza is adjacent to the Ames Research Center and is part of the 213-acre NASA Research Park currently in development. Carnegie Mellon will renovate Buildings 23 and 24.

The multi-million dollar agreement states that the university will lease the buildings for 15 years and exercise additional options to bring the term of the lease up to 48 years. It also gives Carnegie Mellon the right of first refusal to lease buildings 17 and 20 on the six-building quadrangle.

Carnegie Mellon University’s West Coast campus and High Dependability Computing Program have been housed in Building 17 since 2001. Now, expanding educational and research programs require additional space. Building 20 was used as an officers club on the former naval base and could house 50 to 60 people, including students, visiting faculty and short-term visitors.
