US Geological Survey Center
Corporate Office Properties Trust

This 23,500 sf office building with lab space sits on UMBC's Research Park, allowing for collaboration between USGS and UMBC faculty and students. The unique earthy and environmental tones reflect the mission of the USGS Water Science Center, from the winding river rock bed within the natural landscape translating into the building via the stained concrete floor lobby and adjacent areas to the feature wall with pressed leaves to the Green standards by which the building was designed, this place directly reflects USGS's values and vision.
