Focus Areas & Services
RS&H, on a joint venture contract with The Schreifer Group, was selected for this multi-year master planning task order to assist NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) by developing three Area Development Plans (ADPs), a Center Development Plan (CDP), a Center Design Guide (CDG), and a Center Digest (CD). This suite of planning products covers the entirety of the approximately 140,000 acre site but focuses on the areas identified within growth boundaries. The master planning process helped to clarify the 30-year vision for the Center and compiled an actionable set of executable projects. As the Center facilities age, and the focus of NASA evolves to accommodate the growing commercial space industry, these plans will enable the Center to make smart investments and keep its facility portfolio right-sized and resilient.
Related Projects
Our prior experience designing the Apollo-era and Space Shuttle mobile launch infrastructure informed the framework for stakeholder engagement to ensure accommodation of life safety, human factors, and coastal, launch, wind, and hazardous environments for the successful design of modifications to all structures and facilities.
RS&H provided support to the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program through our design for upgrades to NASA’s iconic Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) High Bay 3.
As a valued partner with NASA since the 1960s, RS&H started the project with a contract for HVAC repairs, which blossomed into laboratory repairs, laboratory design, and a master plan that would consolidate the ARES division from six buildings down to two.
