Building 23
Carnegie Mellon University-West
Moffett Field, California

Carnegie Mellon University’s West Coast campus is located in the Shenandoah Historic District of the NASA Ames Research Center. The historic core of the former U.S. Naval Air Station is comprised of five structures surrounding Shenandoah Plaza. Constructed in 1933, Building 23 is a contributing structure within the National Register Historic District, originally serving as the base infirmary. Decommissioned in 1994, NASA Ames assumed control of the former air station for use as a research center.

ARG prepared a schematic design for the adaptive reuse of Building 23 into a new research facility with some classroom use. The project is the first phase in the creation of a West Coast campus for the University.
