County Executive Breaks Ground For NOAA Weather and Climate Prediction
Center

 

COLLEGE PARK, MD - Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson, along
with officials from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA),
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Opus East, LLC
and other elected officials, broke ground today for NOAA's Center for
Weather and Climate Prediction.

 

"Today's groundbreaking for the Center for Weather and Climate
Prediction is a true testament that we are continuing to establish a new
era of greater growth and prosperity in Prince George's County," Johnson
said. "I want to commend GSA and NOAA for selecting Prince George's
County as their new location for this state-of-the-art facility."

 

The Center for Weather and Climate Prediction will be located at the
University of Maryland's 130-acre research park, M Square.  This
building is 270,000 square feet of build-to-suit office space and will
become the new home for NOAA's Satellite and Information Service, Air
Resources Laboratory and the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction, and office of the National Weather Service. 

 

Meteorological data collected globally will arrive at NOAA's Center for
Weather and Climate Prediction.  Environmental scientists will analyze
this information and generate a wide variety of atmospheric and oceanic
forecasts and guidance products using sophisticated numerical weather
and climate prediction models.

 

This development project brings 800 employees to work in the county.
The NOAA facility will be completed in late fall 2007, with full
occupancy in February 2008.
