Shenandoah Plaza Historic District Design Guidelines
NASA/Ames Research Center
Moffett Field, California

ARG prepared Design Guidelines to assist NASA/Ames professional staff, tenants, and their consultants in rehabilitating the five National Register buildings surrounding Shenandoah Plaza, which make up the historic core of this former Naval Air Station. The guidelines were intended to be a design aid in determining acceptable alterations, additions, and repairs for preserving the character of the existing concrete-frame, Colonial Revival buildings built in 1933, and were based upon The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The Design Guidelines were particularly concerned with identifying intact historic fabric at each building and establishing parameters for rehabilitation work for building reuse.
