| Abstract: | The National Center: The U.S. Geological Survey, established in 1879 as a bureau in the Department of the Interior, is one of the Federal Government‘s major earth science research and fact-finding agencies. By 1960, the continued growth of the Survey‘s natural resources and environmental programs and activities led to the agency‘s headquarters personnel being housed in more than 30 different buildings scattered throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. In 1962, Congress approved the construction of a National Center to consolidate the overall Survey‘s headquarters effort. A site in Reston‘s industrial/educational complex was selected and on July 15, 1971, ground was broken for the John Wesley Powell Federal Building. |
