NASA selected Washington-based Oโ€™Donnell Construction Co. to build a $9 million shipping and receiving facility at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., the U.S. space agency said May 18.

The 9,100-square-meter Logistics Facility will consist of a one-story high bay and low bay shipping and receiving area and a two-story warehouse area, according to NASA. The fixed-price contract also calls for Oโ€™Donnell Construction to make improvements to three nearby roads and install lighting at the new facility and Goddardโ€™s main parking lot.

Construction is expected to be completed within 515 days of NASA issuing the formal orders to proceed.
