NASA JSC CAT5 EOC
CLIENT: NASA
Johnson Space Center
Advon was selected as the design-builder for a new Emergency Operations Center CAT5 facility at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The new EOC provides a secured, hardened, and centralized location for the JSC Incident Commander and staff to operate and coordinate with emergency responders during a disaster or emergency event. The facility is hardened to withstand a CAT5 hurricane, as well as being elevated out of the 500-year floodplain. The new EOC consolidates the JSC Protective Services Division assets into a singular facility as well as optimally incorporating the Office of Emergency Management, Physical Security, Fire Protection Services, Occupational Health, and the Mission Control Center. The EOC provides adequate and redundant communications for command and control during a disaster or emergency incident as well as easier command and control of day-to-day operations.
