Use to work at north island, neat base and was also born there!!!
 
$430 a square foot. Why can't they be satisfied with a nondescript building that looks like a hanger instead of a museum? Well that's because they are spending found money.
 
You could probably get like, LEED Diamond-Lithium Ion status if you just built a giant Quonset hut with swamp coolers, skylights and infrared heating.

But that's probably not what we're talking about with them.

Not clear is this project owned by the US government or the military?
 
The military is part of the US government; having said that LEED certification adds a big cost (not so much to the construction as the documentation).
