Records Management
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management is consolidating the business functions, including records management and records storage, information technology infrastructure, and other services at a new facility, to be named the LM Business Center (LMBC), in Morgantown, WV.
The LMBC (formerly referred to as the LM Records Storage Facility) located on 10-acres of the West Virginia University Research Park, at 99 Research Park Road, Morgantown, WV has a expected completion date of December 2009. The project is being managed in a two-phase project approach. Phase I of the project consists of facility design, construction, and commissioning through a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) lease. Phase II of the project consists of planning and implementing the transition of operations and migrating records to the facility once construction and commissioning are complete.
The General Services Administration (GSA) awarded the lease contract on behalf of the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) for a records management and operations facility to be located in Morgantown, West Virginia in June 2008. The design and construction team for the facility includes FD Partners, LLC and Petroplus and Associates, LLC as the developers; Paradigm Architecture as the architect; and DCK North America as the general contractor.
The 59,000-square-foot facility will house up to 95 Federal and contractor personnel supporting the DOE's Office of Legacy Management. The 31,000 square foot warehouse within the facility will contain up to 150,000 cubic feet of non-classified records from the cold war nuclear legacy. The records, now maintained at several Federal Records Centers, will be centralized at the Morgantown facility and will be accessible to researchers, former contractor employees, and other authorized persons both in on-site records research facilities and via a state of the art electronic record keeping system.
In keeping with the Federal Government's support of environmentally friendly buildings, the project had the goal to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program "Gold" certification. An archivist consultant (assisting with National Archives and Records Administration compliance) and a LEED consultant are providing feedback on the designs and assistance with achieving Gold certification in both Core & Shell and Commercial Interiors LEED categories.
