About the FFC
The Federal Facilities Council (FFC) was established in 1953 as the Federal Construction Council. It operates under the auspices of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment (BICE) of the National Research Council, the principal operating agency of the National Academies and the National Academy of Engineering. The FFC's mission is to identify and advance technologies, processes, and management practices that improve the performance of federal facilities over their entire life-cycle, from planning to disposal. To achieve its mission, the FFC:
- develops and disseminates facilities-related information through networking, conferences, workshops, and studies;
- provides a forum to identify government-wide issues regarding facility planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and management;
- convenes standing committee meetings to promote networking and information sharing among sponsor agencies;
- deploys its findings through its reports published by the National Academy Press.
